Object Subject Form

by Simon Clowes

Object Subject Form is a podcast on the human side of creativity, identity, and emerging technologies. It's built on a simple thesis: creative identity is portable. Long-form conversations with artists, technologists, founders, and cultural thinkers on how creatives build identity, agency, and reputation in an industry that keeps reshaping itself. Episodes examine creative leadership, AI and design, ownership, mentorship, and the harder personal questions the industry rarely makes space for. Hosted by Simon Clowes, Emmy-winning Managing Creative Director at Apple. More at objectsubjectform.com.
