Diplo Presents: @LARGE – CREATORS AT WORK

Diplo Presents: @Large – Creators at Work introduces audiences to artists from around the world in an inspiring 10-episode half-hour series, hosted by tastemaker and Grammy-nominated producer Diplo. Produced by crush+lab with Red Bull Media House, the series will air worldwide on Red Bull’s digital video platform Red Bull TV starting on April 22. Bypassing traditional barriers and art gallery elitism, each episode of @Large provides the audience with an inside look behind the creative environment and processes of two individual artists from two very distinct disciplines. The philosophy and aesthetics are as diverse as the mediums each artist employs: from traditional forms of physical modeling like pottery and sculpture, to sophisticated digital worlds where no rules apply, and beyond. The series was filmed in more than 20 cities all over the world from Athens to Accra, Cleveland to Casablanca.
