ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists
ARTMATTERS is an intimate, bi-weekly podcast featuring in-studio conversations between host Isaac Mann and professional
artists from around the world. Now in its second season with over 55 episodes, the show has become a vital resource for the
contemporary art community, exploring everything from technical practices and daily studio insights to career advice, creative
blocks, and the emotional realities of making art.
Host Isaac Mann brings both the perspective of a working artist and the curiosity of a thoughtful interviewer to each conversation,
creating a space where artists can discuss not just their techniques and influences, but also the vulnerable aspects of creative life-
hope, depression, expectation, success, and failure.
Whether exploring technical processes, relationship dynamics, or tips for a healthier practice, ARTMATTERS offers
both emerging and established artists a rare glimpse into the real experiences behind successful creative careers.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.
On today’s episode I speak with Joe Hollier. Joe is a multi-disciplinary artist from Brooklyn. He is also the co-founder of The Light Phone.
Joe and I met back in the day, participating in group shows around Brooklyn. Back then i knew him as a collage artist, who was also hard at work on a mysterious plastic gadget. That gadget turned out to be The Light Phone, a simple phone that makes calls and helps keep distractions to a minimum.
I actually picked up a Light Phone earlier this year and much later put 2 and 2 together that this was Joe’s project. So I looked Joe up and asked if he’d like to sit down with me sometime and talk about art and life and phones. He said “yes.” Here’s my conversation with Joe Hollier.
Joe Hollier studied design at the School of Visual Arts. He is a filmmaker, designer, director, and entrepreneur. He likes to make stop animations, collages, patterns and drawings, music videos, documentaries, and books.
