This time, I'm once again joined by my co-host Desultor (https://desultor.art/) as we welcome the amazing Tengushee! Tengushee is a digital artist, musician, and storyteller who masterfully weaves tapestries of myth, magic, and machine, often exploring the liminal spaces between ancient folklore and future-shocked realities through his mythopoetic digital craft.

In this episode, Tengushee unveils his "Fae wave" genre, where traditional myths (especially Celtic Faerie lore) meet modern "weird" aesthetics like retro tech and cyberpunk. He discusses his epic 30-year project, "The Endless Chronicles," re-imagining Fae not as delicate sprites but as powerful, non-human "aliens" whose abduction stories echo UFO encounters. This intricate mythos fuels his visual art, NFTs (like "Degen Disk Swap"), and concept-driven music (often exploring breakbeats and AI), alongside chats about UK drinking culture, the fear of AI, and his goal to spark that "chill" of excitement when audiences connect ancient lore with modern anxieties.

This time, my brilliant co-host desultor (https://desultor.art/) and I are absolutely thrilled to welcome fellow analog video artist, the amazing aitso! aitso masterfully works with tangible video hardware and processes, exploring the unique aesthetics and textures that only analog gear can produce.

In this episode, aitso, desultor, and I talk all about analog video art. aitso tells us about his cool "VHS Dream" project, and we cover what's happening with RGB Montreal and the Analog Video Union. Plus, we definitely get into the IRL art vs. NFT art discussion and how artists are working with both.
