Session 9
Andrew Huang isn’t just a YouTube creator. He embodies what it means to be a worldbuilder in the modern age, mastering fictional, brand, and mimetic storytelling.
His most seminal feat, Spacetime, broke new creative grounds for him personally while also revealing new, unavoidable truths about how we connect and build relationships with those we interact with through the internet. During a presentation and fireside chat with Future Commerce’s Phillip Jackson, Andrew will walk through the layered creative process of Spacetime, and how the project’s ripple effects relate to the way brands build myths, and worlds, online.
How does digital storytelling influence the way we present ourselves in the physical world? When does our “virtual identity” dictate, even override, who we actually are?
To conclude a memorable day at the MoMA, Andrew will offer his thoughts on the creator economy, the impact of disinformation, and the growing influence of commerce in storytelling. He also will treat attendees to a special musical performance.
