Waiting To Be Signed

We are very excited to complete the trifecta by bringing you a classic interview episode with Kim Asendorf. We are sharing this just a day before the AGH1 exhibition at Funkhaus in Berlin, where Kim is presenting work alongside Leander Herzog and Andreas Gysin. In this episode we discuss:

• 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
