The crew talks about the upcoming Cozomo event at The Foundry before diving into Blur’s BLAST– what is it and why are so many people putting their ETH into it? Then they discuss the comeback of Solana NFTs and opportunities for generative art on SOL. 
A behind-the-scenes video for artist Summer Wagner is rolled before Eli speaks with her about her upcoming collection Midamerican Fever Dream. They discuss the inspiration behind it, how the theme of rituals is incorporated in her work, and about the four waves for the project.

100 PROOF Live: Franke's 1982 Apple II Art Reimagined

Kevin (CEO, PROOF) is joined by Amanda (PROOF Culture and Community), Justin (Co-Founder, PROOF), and special guest collector Tony Herrera for this week’s 100 PROOF Live. 

Kevin and Justin quickly recap their recent time in Japan before the crew dives into "the pump." Are we back -- or not quite yet? Tony also gives a little background of how he got into digital art and crypto. 

The latest Art Blocks Curated drop from mount vitruvius has gone wild this week, and it spurs a discussion about "The Wall Test" and physical prints of tokenized art. The show ends with Tony sharing his adventure at the Bright Moments Patagonia event minting 0xDEAFBEEF's Hashmarks, and about how in-person events continue to create the best memories.
