Client Overview: Carnegie Museum of Art

Since 2020, we've created two six-part audio podcasts for Carnegie Museum's Hillman Photography Initiative featuring contemporary artists, writers, and thinkers delving into heady and fraught topics. Led by SW Creative Director Rachel Wolff, who wrote, produced, interviewed/moderated, and edited both series, these podcasts aren't just artists in dialogue, they’re long-form essayistic explorations of important contemporary and art-historical topics. Each episode conjures the visuals in your mind with vivid description and synthesizes the perspectives of multiple speakers into a unique argument and meditation on complex issues in contemporary (and historical) photography.

Podcast: Mirror with a Memory

Audio Episodes:

At the height of the pandemic, we collaborated with the Carnegie Museum of Art’s Hillman Photography Initiative to create a new podcast series, Mirror with a Memory, about the intersection of photography, surveillance, and artificial intelligence and the work that artists are doing to explore that space—from biometrics and racial bias to the ways that we perceive the environment and international borders. Written and produced by SW Creative Director Rachel Wolff and hosted by Martine Syms, the six-episode series features leading artists and thinkers in dialogue accompanied by excerpts from important artworks, unpacking the ways in which these powerful forces and technologies impact everyone.
