Nemo Gould is an artist, sculptor, compulsive collector of things, and self-described ‘Chairman of the Hoard’. He makes kinetic sculptures from found objects, repurposing what most of us would consider junk to create weird and wonderful art. In this episode, Nemo and I discuss his work in the context of the sustainability movement and how we can all spend less time in front of screens and get back to a more grounded existence in the physical world.
