Send us a textBen Roy takes us deep into the evolving landscape of digital art collecting, offering refreshingly nuanced perspectives that challenge conventional Web3 wisdom. Beginning with his early fascination with Decentraland in 2019, Ben shares his journey from Pokemon card collector to thoughtful NFT observer, revealing how his collecting philosophy centers more on artistic innovation than blockchain specifications.The conversation explores what makes Web3 special – its relative meritocracy compared to traditional industries, offering greater opportunities for those willing to put in the work. Ben likens it to "playing in the European basketball league versus the NBA," where the less professionalized environment creates higher upside for dedicated participants. This accessibility represents one of the space's most promising aspects, potentially democratizing opportunities for creators and collectors alike.We dive into Ben's vision for digital art's future, where collecting becomes normalized at accessible price points, with intuitive display options both online and physically. However, he candidly acknowledges the challenges posed by lingering expectations from the 2021 hype cycle, when astronomical returns created unrealistic financial standards that the space is still reconciling.Most compelling is Ben's perspective on the untapped potential of community building through networked collections. Unlike traditional art collecting's solitary experience, digital art enables community formation among collectors who appreciate the same creator – a fundamental differentiator that could reshape artist-collector relationships. His thoughtful examination of supply considerations, pricing mechanisms, and the overemphasis on blockchain provenance provides collectors with frameworks for evaluating digital art beyond technical specifications.Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that balances practical collecting wisdom with forward-thinking optimism about digital art's potential to build meaningful connections between artists and their audiences. Follow Ben's work on his Liquid Culture podcast and monthly newsletter, where he continues exploring the fascinating intersection of technology, ownership, and creative expression.https://x.com/benroy__Support the show

Send us a textMe Llamo Matt brings his unique perspective as an entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the Me Llamo Art Foundation to an engaging conversation about the evolution of digital ownership. What begins with his personal journey from crypto skepticism to NFT advocacy opens the door to profound insights about value, patience, and human connection in the digital age.Matt's storytelling shines when he discusses his dream of living on an Italian lake with an antique wooden boat, revealing how our digital-focused community still craves authentic experiences shared with loved ones. His advice to "take care of yourself before taking care of others" offers a refreshing counterbalance to the always-on nature of Web3, while his observation that "great leaders follow themselves" celebrates the independent thinking that drives innovation.Drawing fascinating parallels between the evolution of music consumption, books, cash transactions, and now art ownership, Matt builds a compelling case for digital property as legitimate property. "Just wait," he encourages those skeptical about NFT display limitations, predicting that technological advances will soon make our early collections look "phenomenal" and historically significant.The conversation takes an unexpectedly moving turn when Matt connects the Shawshank Redemption quote "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies" to the current state of Web3. In a market that tests patience, his passionate belief in hope as our guiding force resonates deeply with anyone who's weathered the ups and downs of emerging technologies.From his early baseball card trading savvy to his surprising poker skills and the meaningful work of the Me Llamo Art Foundation, Matt exemplifies how traditional values of community, integrity, and strategic patience translate perfectly into the digital frontier.

In this episode, Blair Vermette, founder of Rabbit Hole, shares his remarkable journey from traditional television production to the forefront of AI-powered creativity. Initially sceptical - frustrated, even - by AI's impact on creative industries, Blair found himself at a crossroads. Instead of resisting, he leaned in, exploring AI's potential and ultimately redefining what was possible in storytelling.Blair walks us through the creation of his viral Adidas spec ad, Floral, the project that propelled him into the AI spotlight and reshaped his career. He discusses the challenges of scaling Rabbit Hole, the unpredictability of AI-generated content, and how his background in editing and directing gave him a unique edge in the space.A natural storyteller, Blair introduces his philosophy of “breaking the spine”-thinking conventional story structures to craft unexpected, engaging narratives. He also shares insights on curation vs. creation, the role of human instinct in working with AI, and the future of creativity in an era where technology is rapidly changing the game.Key Takeaways:Curation is as Vital as Creation – AI doesn't replace creativity; it enhances it. Blair emphasizes that knowing how to curate and refine AI-generated content is just as important as generating it.Spec Ads Can Open Doors – Blair's Adidas Floral campaign proved that self-initiated projects can be career-defining, attracting industry attention and unlocking new opportunities.Instinct and Storytelling Still Matter – While AI can generate stunning visuals, human intuition, taste, and storytelling structure remain irreplaceable in making content truly compelling.Adapting to AI is Crucial for Creatives – AI is reshaping creative industries, and those who embrace experimentation and evolve their skill sets will be best positioned for success.Breaking the Spine Unlocks Originality – Blair challenges traditional storytelling structures by disrupting linear narratives, starting in unexpected places, and reshaping story arcs to keep audiences engaged.Adidas Spec Ad: BlairVermette/AdidasAdBlair's Instagram: Blair Vermette (@_blairvermette) • Rabbithole: RABBITHOLE | creative studioLinkedIn: (10) Blair Vermette | LinkedIn00:00 Introduction to Blair and Rabbit Hole00:25 Blair's Journey into Generative AI01:53 The Impact of Generative AI on Creativity04:35 Creating 'My Name is Gary'07:51 The Cost and Constraints of Traditional Animation14:38 The Making of the Adidas Spec Ad19:02 The Viral Success and Its Aftermath24:08 Scaling Up to Meet Demand27:20 The Dilemma of Building a Team 28:55 The Importance of Instinct and Originality29:48 Professionalism in Creative Work30:16 Leveraging AI in Storytelling34:50 The Value of Obsession and Specificity36:02 Entrepreneurial Ideas for Creative Growth44:02 Breaking the Story Spine48:18 Navigating the AI Transition50:58 Final Reflections and Encouragement

From curating emerging artists to strengthening the Tezos art scene, Ombeline shares insights on the  ever-changing art landscape.Our special guest is Ombeline Rosset, shaping the future of Tezos-based digital curation.

Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera are a curatorial duo specialising in art and technology, dedicated to bridging digital and contemporary art.We either speak over-enthusiastically about AI or in fear of its impact on creativity. My guests stand somewhat in between, advocating for a better understanding of its potential as a tool which they base upon their experiences with artists. The latter have always been irreverent regarding technologies since pigment was blown onto a hand leaving its mysterious mark on a cave wall… So what happens now, with the metaverse, AI and virtual reality? Are these new exhibition spaces? And how to they affect the existing ones? Our discussion took us to lots of places, amongst which the installation created by artist duo Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, THE CALL for the Serpentine, which enabled spectators to interact with an AI who had trained with choirs across the UK; we talk about artists who connect writing with sculpture, performance, and new technologies, such as Ana María Caballero, (who just sold a poem in an online auction of Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions called Natively Digital, for 0.28 Bitcoin or $11,430 at Sotheby's), and much more. I also mention the great Jan Hopkins, an artist and writer based in Sheffield.Cramerotti and Scalera both teach at MA IESA University Paris & Kingston University London. They co-curated the Lumen Prize x Sotheby's plus this year and the Art Dubai Digital Section 2024. As a duo, they form the International Selection Committee of the Lumen Prize and work as nominators for the Maxxi-Bvlgari Prize for Digital Art. While co-directing Multiplicity-Art in Digital, an online platform promoting women artists with a focus on diversity and inclusion, they spearhead Web to Verse, a project dedicated to fostering research on the evolution of digital art from the 1960s to the present day.This multifaceted profile has led them to speak at prestigious events such as the UK House of Lords' All-Party Parliamentary Group, the House of Beautiful Business, the AI House (during the World Economic Forum), the Riyadh Art Program for the KSA Visual Art Commission. They have worked with the UK Government Art Collection, the British Council Visual Arts Acquisition Committee, the Italian Ministry of Culture for the Italian Council 2022-24 program, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Support Exhibitionistas:HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?  With a one-off donation Become a member.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Nicole Sales Giles, Vice President and Director of Digital Art at Christie's, to explore the rapidly evolving but still niche sector of the art world, AI-generated art. As Christie's prepares to launch Augmented Intelligence, its first dedicated AI art auction (running from February 20-March 5), we take a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping the art market. We discuss the fundamentals of AI-generated art, its evolution since Christie's historic 2018 sale of an AI portrait, and the significance of this auction in positioning AI art within the fine art landscape. Nicole shares insights into collector interest, the mix of digital and physical works in the sale, and how AI art is being received by traditional collectors vs. NFT buyers. The conversation also addresses some of the pressing ethical debates surrounding AI-generated art, including a recent open letter raising concerns about the use of copyrighted material in AI models. Plus, Nicole highlights some of the most exciting artists in the sale and where she sees AI art heading in the coming years.
