Casey Neistat on the virtues of ignorance
Make. Change./Recorded 2015
A close reading, kept within reach.
Casey Neistat takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2015, the conversation is grounded in Casey's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Casey Neistat never went to film school – he credits his success to this and the “virtues of ignorance”.
