We are thrilled to host GiselXFlorez - Artist in Light - with a lifetime of experience exploring a broad spectrum of mediums to create and connect with ART, which is in itself is many things. In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of art, discovering its profound connections to life, technology, and the human soul.
Gisel's Background and Art Philosophy: Gisel shares her journey as an artist, discussing her early interests in traditional art forms like painting and later transitioning to digital art. She defines art as an expression of life and a product of the human soul, emphasising the emotional and experiential aspects of art over technical skill alone.
Physical Art and NFTs: Gisel recounts her experiences in giving away physical pieces of her art at events, linking these to her digital artworks and NFTs. This bridges the gap between traditional and digital art forms.
The Role of AI in Art: The conversation delves into how AI is shaping art. Gisel views AI as a tool that regurgitates past human experiences and emphasizes the importance of human intent and the 'soul' in differentiating AI-generated art from human-created art.
Gisel's Projects and Collaborations: She discusses various projects, including her 'Moon Language' project, which involves photography of the moon paired with music to create a new form of expression. She also touches on other collaborative projects and her approach to integrating different art forms.
The Intersection of Art and Technology: The discussion explores how technology, particularly blockchain and NFTs, is creating new platforms and opportunities for artists. Gisel talks about how these technologies allow for more direct and varied expressions of creativity.
Art, Privacy, and Data Security: There's a segment of the conversation about the importance of privacy and data security in the digital age. Gisel expresses concerns about how personal data is harvested and the implications for artists and the general public.
The Future of Art and Society: The podcast touches upon broader themes of how art relates to societal changes, the role of artists in society, and how technology is reshaping both art creation and consumption.
Quantum Light Gerbil: The episode concludes with a discussion about involving the community in art creation, specifically mentioning a project called "Quantum Light Gerbil," where community members contribute ideas for a piece that Gisel will create.

George was called away last minute for this one so Dr Dion W stepped in to help. Also known as @DionwNFT on Twitter, he is a data scientist and works for MyNFT.
Today we focus on security with Jonathan Wilkins, previous CSO of Blockstream and currently founder of Cloaked Wireless.
Cloaked focuses on solving sim swapping attacks in the space by creating a secure intermediary away from traditional telecom companies using Bitcoin message signing for authentication. We cover:
how big the sim swapping problem is
some major vulnerabilities out there
seed storage procedures.
