In this episode I talk to the three artists that are exhibiting in Systematic Premeditation, an exhibition in my gallery sp2.berlin. ciphrd, Ryan Bell and Leander Herzog and I talk about all kinds of shit, including how the exhibition came about, how/why ciphrd started fxhash, how they come to use specific programming languages for their art, their thoughts on marketplaces and their role in the art world, and other stuff. It was great for me to have this experience. Sorry for the technical difficulties in the middle there, the joys of live radio...

In this episode I talk to THE Reverend Dan Catt. Yes, he is a real Reverend. We talk about who he is, why I have him on the show, community curation, some required reading for anyone getting into generative art and wants to curate, music, the future of the internet, art, and he does an incredible rendition of John Cage's masterpiece 4'33". Who knew he had such a silky smooth voice?

In this episode we talk to Zeneca, mastermind behind the Zen Academy and one of the hosts of Two Bored Apes podcast. The chat was great. We learned about his interest in Seneca (the Roman Stoic Philosopher), his time as a poker player, mental health and his "infinite regret" tweet, how he deals with the pressure of being in an "always on" environment like the NFT space, what his favorite NFT is, and other stuff.

In this episode I talk to artist Antti Pussinen and gallerist Luisa Catucci about what its like to stage a generative art show in an IRL gallery. We get off on to many other tangents, but those tangents are interesting and somehow get back on track. For me, this was fascinating because Luisa and I have common paths that have led us both to exhibiting this kind of work in our galleries. An American, an Italian and Finn sit in a studio...

In this episode we talk to ClownVamp, a collector and an AI Artist that is pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with cryptoart and NFTs. He has two main collections on Tezos, "The Truth" and "Detective Jack",  both are narratives being told through a complex weaving of minting and burning in order to advance the storyline. We discuss those series, his vision for them, what he wants to collect, where he sees this headed, his process for creating the art, how he keeps track of it all, and many other things.

We discuss his path to generative art, what he finds interesting, what inspires him, his working process with ajberni for the TENDER X collab "Love" and I ask the hardest question- why hasn't he visited the Mob Museum?

Episode 14, the premiere episode of Season 2, recaps what has happened in the broader generative art space since the end of Season 1. We discuss what has happened with FX Hash, Art Basel, Proof of People, Tender, a Bugged Forest, and took a call from Willpop (co-host of Waiting to be Signed) where he explained that holding art during this crypto downturn is a better move than just holding the currency. We also discuss what we're looking forward to in the coming months, as well as some other things. 

It was a fun one. Glad to be back.
