| How the Bob Dylan Concert for One Person Came to Be |
An interview with 'Experiment Ensam' director Anders Helgeson

A few days ago, I spoke with Fredrik Wikingsson. He’s the man in that screengrab right there, getting a Bob Dylan concert just for him. If you haven’t read that one yet, he had one heck of a story, and I encourage you to catch up. To summarize: A Finnish gaming company recorded a series of short films, Experiment Ensam, about people experiencing group activities all alone. One of those activities was attending a Dylan concert.
How did this happen, that Bob Dylan agreed to perform a short concert for just one person in the audience? Wikingsson didn’t know; the premise of the series involved keeping him somewhat in the dark about how the sausage was made. So I spoke with Experiment Ensam director Anders Helgeson. Wikingsson shared his experience in front of the camera. Now, Helgeson tells us what happened behind the scenes.
I’ll once again embed the full 14-minute video, and once again encourage you to watch it. For one, it’s fascinating, and also I think you’ll get more out of this conversation if you’ve seen it.
