WHAT SO NOT: HOPE IN THE DARK

Thumbnail Sally Coleman

EMC's 'The Reboot' opens with What So Not: Hope in the Dark - an exploration into the mindset of one of Australia’s most dynamic and constantly evolving artists, Chris Emerson. This in-conversation with Sally Coleman weaves his ability to apply a healthy mind to influence a healthy scene, his commitment to culture and community back home despite wild success internationally, and his ability to transform lockdown experiences ‘trapped’ in other cities into periods of thriving creativity and inspiration.

On The Couch With Luude And His Team

Today’s artists and their teams manage a much broader scope of responsibilities, day-to-day tasks and strategies to gain -and maintain- momentum. The combination of talent, vision, planned strategies and unexpected opportunities can transform an artist’s career from steady and mid-tier in their home market, to A level and internationally sought after. Luude is an artist on such a trajectory in 2022. Besides his juggling of Luude & Choomba, and his recently completed Triple J radio show, Luude kicked off 2022 with a massive global hit that came from a seemingly ‘silly’ idea. EMC’s conference closes with a panel from Luude’s unique perspective and how his team are managing this remarkable rise.
