Made On A Mac - Artists that Depend on the Power of the Mac

Fascinating...
Unconventional...
Breaking all preconceptions...

Think you’ve seen the best of the Mac’s creative capabilities? You ain’t seen nothing yet. From funkified sneakers to landmark video journalism to mind-blowing new musical instruments, amazing people are creating amazing things on their Macs. Behold the edge of creativity and invention.

if the people and projects profiled in the pages that follow have one thing in common, it’s a relationship with their computers that’s unique to Mac fans. It’s almost as if the computer becomes an extension of its owner’s mind, whether it’s a means of capturing product ideas and sketches, a catalyst for covering stories that the mainstream media won’t touch, or the source of the technological firepower needed to process hundreds of audio signals or breathe life into a 3D illustration.

We scoured the Mac creative community for people making amazing art, music, video, and industrial design—and then we went beyond that first layer of community to find the even cooler stuff. Intrigued? You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome article!

This has been by far the most entertaining article I've seen for a while in MacLife. The icosahedron speaker is awesome! I wouldn't have known it existed if it weren't for this magazine.

Soem suggestions for artists who create on a Mac - howabout music artists who use the Apple Macintosh for creating music. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is a serious Mac User and so is Weird Al Yankovic. How about scouring the music scene and see which artists use the Mac to create their soundloops and websites in their art?

I'd love to see who else in the music biz uses a Mac... something tells me Sting is a Mac fanatic, but I'm just speculating.

I'm a student of Computer Science, work as a HSD Technician and I've worked as a PC dismantler at a recycling facility where I dismantled 75 iMacs and assorted Pentium 3 computers a day. I'm looking forward to my next purchase of a Macintosh.&#
