The Niftyist Podcast kicks off with a wide-ranging interview with Metageist, a visionary artist and innovator who uses NFTs to blend the media of VR, AR, sculpture, and illustration.

In this full cut of the interview, our conversation covers:

• The origins of the Metageist name and logo (Extended exclusive);
• The dramatic heist of his Basilisk from an art gallery during Dreamverse;
• His Metaphyla series, a project tracing the evolution of VR creatures alongside the growth of the Metaverse;
• The Cyclops, a project delivers collectors exclusive access to curated art experiences through a bridge between NFTs and unique physical sculptures;
• How NFTs enabled Lee to make a career out of being a VR artist in a way that simply wasn't possible before;
• How Lee creates art from within the metaverse (Extended exclusive);
• How Lee expects AI programs to disrupt industries from art to journalism and video games (Extended exclusive);
• What Lee understands as the metaverse, and how we can expect it to evolve (Extended exclusive);

Plus, we play a lightning round game called "Tired or Inspired?"
