Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt, YACHT: Finding Truth in Science Fiction – Well Made E26
July 19, 2017 · RSS · Apple Podcasts
YACHT is Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans. They're most widely known as a band, but they make way more than music. Their latest projects have included an app for finding daily happenings in LA, a Trump urinal screen, a book about the impact of women in technology, and the preservation of musical sculpture in downtown LA.
On this episode, the artistic duo talks about their diverse, meticulous cannon of work and how it's guided by a passion for science fiction.
“[Science Fiction] is like a tool that you can use in so many different ways to understand reality. ”
