Creative Iterations

In this episode of Creative Iterations, we dive deep into the world of Web3 where art, technology, and creative economy collide. Co-hosts Kim Tignor and Hollis Wong-Wear are joined by Latashá, a multi-disciplinary artist and genre-defying sonic world builder, and Sian Morson, a collector and advocate in the inclusive Web3 community space who founded The BlkChain in 2021. We learn more about Web3, blockchain and cryptocurrency and how it connects with a movement for greater agency and sovereignty for creators of color, and Latashá and Sian’s own journeys navigating the volatility and culture shifts within Web3. Together, Latashá and Sian explore how the Web3 space can provide creators with more control, access, and equity in the rapidly evolving creative economy – but not without its challenges. 

For our first episode, Kim and Hollis chat with Willonius Hatcher, aka King Willonius, a comedian, filmmaker and technologist famous for this year's viral "BBL Drizzy" and who was recently profiled by TIME Magazine for their TIME100 AI 2024.

We discuss navigating virality, the methodology behind generating original IP with AI tools, and the type of energy and discipline needed to be successful in today's creative economy. Follow Willonius' work at @kingwillonius on IG.
