Will and Trinity have a virtual sit-down with Dr. Ivona Tau for some serious AI/GAN art education. Ivona walks us through the basics of training a GAN system and how she uses them in her work... and from there the conversation goes a bit more free-form discussing publicly available tools like Midjourney, misconceptions about AI art, her experiences in the traditional art world, and more.

Trinity and Will interview Ed, one of the founding members of the KRPDM (Carpe Diem). KRPDM is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization [DAO] that collects NFTs from all corners of the Tezos eco-system. From the outset they've had a clear directive to collect gen-art, and see fx(hash) as cultural epicenter for long form gen-art on Tezos. 

In this episode we discuss the logistics of collecting as an organization, optimism about the Tezos blockchain, the DAO's bullishness despite the impending bear market, and of course, THE ART.
