Manage episode 427874862 series 3317241
A special Monday interview episode for y'all! So pleased to finally record with James Merrill after meeting him a couple of times in person. Hope everyone enjoy this candid conversation about his art and the craziness of the web3 world.
In this episode we discuss:
- James' background in art and coding, and how he got into NFTs
- What James loves about Fidenza
- Getting into plotter work and being included in Feral Files Graph+ exhibition in 2021
- What is so cool about plotters anyways?
- James' upcoming project, 'Busy'... and how does this even work with code?
- 1A diversion into pens, inks, Schwittlick and KenConsumer
- Art vs. Craft and (not) drawing a line in the sand for generative artists
- Unionizing artists!
- Some hot takes on AI art
- Recent changes to Art Blocks and the potential for releasing on Studio vs other open platforms
- Rapid Fire
