I heard on NPR about one of the MacArthur Fellows, Walter Kitundu, a multimedia artist, who creates hybrid instruments out of turntables and strings. Very cool stuff ;)
If you go to the MacArthur website you can see all 25, I think I remember several multimedia artists, in short video clips.
Aaron Dworkin was a MacArthur winner. So was Robert Root-Bernstein. They tend to be humble brilliant people. Well, at least the ones I know.
