In this week’s episode, we talk to Christina Steinbrecher-Pfandt about her work in the contemporary art and crypto space including discussions around blockchain-focused art, working in Silicon Valley, acting as a bridge for the crypto and traditional art markets, the benefits of using digital tools to expand art audiences, the importance of ethics, how the pandemic sped up the digitization of galleries and museums, the way in which artists use art as a platform for societal impact, the alleged luxury status of art objects, and the NFT as an entry point for potential collectors.

Christina Steinbrecher-Pfandt (born 1983) is an international art curator and director, and co-founder together with Micha Anthenor Benoliel of Blockchain.art, a digital platform for artists and collectors. She was part of the founding team that rebranded Austria’s biggest contemporary art fair, viennacontemporary.
