Pod Bluman

Pod Bluman is founder and project director of London based entertainment technology and production consultancy Bluman Associates. Prior to that he was a freelancer in the industry working across the spectrum of live, including touring music shows, live theatre and opera, TV, raves, corporate and everything in between.

Bluman Associates specializes in video and digital

technologies and workflows, and their use in live events. Innovation is at their core and being brave and foolhardy enough to take on projects that have not been done before is a key driver of their success. A prime example of this is the performance the by “Dave” at the Brits 2020, providing technical production and technically direction, in addition to creating all the 3D content for the worldwide 1st use of XR technology on a Live TV Show. 

Pod also completed a Masters in Design Research at the Royal College of Art in 2021 and as part of his thesis designed and produced a unique art installation called ‘THE GUT.” The installation was an experience that immersed 2 participants, unknown to each other, into an environment that encouraged them to use their intuition and used a combination of psychology and real-time motion graphics to create a connection and build a shared experience. Pod has since gone gain Arts Council funding for another multi-disciplinary project and is furthering his connections in the world of academia and looking for the intersections between these two worlds.
