In this special episode of Art Smack, host Hilde takes you on a candid journey as she reflects on her evolution from a Hooters waitress to a prominent figure in the art world, all while heading to the 10th Christie’s Art+Tech Summit at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Join us on **July 16th and 17th** for this milestone two-day event that unites the realms of art, technology, entertainment, and business. The summit will feature a diverse lineup of founders, creators, investors, collectors, and thought leaders, all converging at the intersection of innovation.

As Hilde navigates her thoughts en route to the conference, she delves into the commercialization and technological integration of art, questioning the sustainability and authenticity of today’s art market dynamics. With a tone infused with curiosity and sardonic humor, she explores themes of nostalgia, the decentralization of Hollywood, and the often deceptive facade of success within the art industry.

Tune in for an engaging discussion that challenges conventional perspectives and invites listeners to reflect on the future of art in a rapidly evolving landscape.
