The NFT Asia Podcast

My next guest is Las Vegas-based independent singer, writer and musician Lianna "Oly" Sylvan. Hear her speak about:

• How music and gaming has always been a part of her
• How the #avatar version of her and her #VR #musicvideo came about 
• How she got addicted to virtual world platform #SomniumSpace
• How putting on VR headset for the first time blew her mind and she got used to the motion sickness
• Why she thinks the #metaverse is not just about escaping reality but it allows her to take a mental vacation, hang out with people, enhance connections with friends and new collaborators 
• How Somnium Space is a huge tool for #artists and #musicians like her and she was given a thousand dollars in Cube (in-game currency) from Somnium's artist creator fund to support community artists
• What cool things her peers, collaborators, metaversr architects and community have built in Somnium Space so far eg. NFT guitar, flying cars, bikes, dance clubs, pubs and other custom environments
• Why the experience of getting her IP stolen previously made her appreciate how #NFTs and encrypted technology protects her as a copyright owner; How she sold her “Jurassic” song music video on #Mintable after meeting its founder Zach; How she was part of #3lau "Ultraviolet" NFT album that they cut together in 2017; How she became part of #GerogeLopez and #Sabet “Cha Cha Lucha” collection drop and wrote the theme song together with #Godcloud

My next guest is Brendan Miggins. He designs building, spaces and things + he make art. He makes the invisible visible. He tells us on the podcast how honoured he is that Paris Hilton is now the the owner of his NFT https://www.instagram.com/p/COMiRltATuA/  and also that she is lovely.

Before we began the live-taping of this podcast episode, we played his latest NFT "Mother’s Day Flowers". He talked about how he created this Digital photo collage and music for Mother’s Day. And if you are a Mom, enjoy them at zero cost (other than gas fees). Or consider giving them to a deserving Mom and watch her enjoy them. (This is a limited edition of 13.) 

He also told us he had a blast channeling his inner Andy Warhol for this series of images "Living At The Whim Of Others Always Seemed Unbearable To Me", though this work is more related to work he did with early color xerox machines on which he'd move the image after each of several scanning passes they’d required. This resulted in multiple exposures in various colors creating a pop art/psychedelic vibe.

Here are some links he mentioned on the podcast:

• “I Quit My Job” is minted on Open Sea. See Linktree linktr.ee/MiggsEye

My next guest is Hansruedi Ramsauer, an award-winning digital artist and web designer based in Switzerland. His compositions have received international awards several dozen times, including from Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Creativecloud . Other awards came from THE UNIVERSAL ART, DIGITALCONTENTORS, ENTER. IMAGINATION, ARTISTRY-VISION, XCEPTIONALEDITS, VISUALMOBS, THECREATIVERS, THEGRAPHICSPROJECT, CREARTMOOD, EDIT-MANIA and many more.

It all started for him four years ago, after a 20-year career in the financial sector, when he started his own business as a web designer ( go4design.ch ). He wanted to better understand Photoshop and challenged himself to post every day a self-created picture on Instagram. What was meant to be an exercise quickly led to a large following on Instagram @swissgo4design with 60K followers. Social media stars took notice of him. Joint projects were launched and art magazines began to report on his work. He received orders from brands like Hyundai Genesis , Columbia Sportswear or Adobe Photoshop He started with his first art exhibition last year and he will have three exhibitions in 2021.

In this episode, we discussed everything NFTs, why he often gets the "Inception" references for his surreal art and trippy-edits, and why he had motivational captions attached to every Instagram post.

You will find his NFT Art on:

We are truly honoured to welcome another Grammy Award Winner, Musician, Recording Artist, Composer, Pianist and Entrepreneur to our festival and podcast! Find out more about his work via linktr.ee/omarakram

He joined me in our virtual podcasting studio to discuss these topics and more:

• Why a traditional artist should mint NFTs?
• What is missing from the Eco system?
• What do you want to see built?
• What creators are struggling with when it comes to marketing or monetising their work?
• Why cutting out the middle man means the artist’s role has now evolved into someone who has to be a great communicator, storyteller, community builder and doing buddy copy in a pithy way; let art speak for itself and spending 100% of time on your creation is no longer enough, it is about building a following in order to succeed

My next guest is Toronto Calligrapher, Telisa Rossein (pronounced roe ▪️ zayn). I get to jam with her on #everything #NFTs #marketing #predictions #NFTSpace and more! NFT has been getting some accusations about it being bad for the environment. Even though giant corporations and mining industry have been doing worse for years and have done very little to develop environmentally friendly protocol. Telisa: "But to give you context, ETH is getting this accusation because of its proof-of-work technology. It’s a misinformation being spread by FUDsters (agencies spreading fears, uncertainties and doubts). While ETH developers are currently in the process of developing proof-of-stake technology which will use less carbon footprint, there are already staking POW blockchain that are doing that, like Polygon (previously known as Matic)."

What exactly do you get when you buy an #NFT? What rights are required for anyone to create or mint an NFT, if any? How can NFT seller clearly & conspicuously attach the terms of the #SmartContract to the NFT to ensure that the agreement is binding as to subsequent owners? How does fractionalisation of #NFTs intersect or trip with #Securities law?

Jesse Halfon, #Attorney, NFT Legal Guide For Creators answered these questions during our extended NFT Live! Festival streaming last night on LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and Discord on Day 4: Night Session. 

This week’s extended show will spotlight another incredible roster of 24 top speakers in the #NFT #metaverse #creatoreconomy space from Asia and beyond!

He is building a #social #metaverse platform for artists, collectors, #nft enthusiasts, #curators and #contentcreators It's not about solely featuring art for himslef.

His background is in analytics, data engineering and data science. He worked as a Data Analyst, Data Scientist and at the end Head of Advanced Analytics in fintech. Then he retired in the age of 35 and was brought back to work by NFT hype.
