  • Kim's background in art and coding & the journey to selling work as NFTs
  • The appeal of pixels and what exactly is 'Pixel Sorting'?
  • The story of Reading A Book and how it ended up on fx(hash)
  • The jump to long-form after the original Monogrids series
  • Pushing boundaries with art & innovation vs. what collector's might find beautiful
  • The meaninglessness of being 'first' in blockchain & hopes for future appreciation of challenging artwork
  • Finding the narrative of expressive artwork and naming works
  • What early game & computer moments still influence Kim's work
  • The story of the upcoming AGH1 exhibition
  • How Kim thinks about platform & chain for releasing work in the current NFT ecosystem
