Together with my friend Marko Ahtisaari we are doing a series of podcasts on Web3. In this episode, we talk to Kevin Abosch, a conceptual artist who sold a photo of a potato for over a million euros, put himself on the blockchain, and is currently algorithmically designing wall-hangings for this year's Helsinki Festival. We spoke to Kevin about his journey as an artist, his experiments with blockchain and NFTs, and his take on Web3. “Right now we are at peak confusion,” he says. "Things can go very dark very quickly if people don't take the time to philosophically understand how this technology may or may not serve us in the immediate and long term future." We hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did.
Podcast: Floor Is Rising Episode: Kevin Abosch Welcome to the podcast Floor Is Rising with host SabreTooth, a professional NFT collector and Kizu, a professional art critic. On this podcast, we talk deeply about the business of creating, collecting and analyzing NFTs. So, if you're a creator or collector of NFTs, jump in! On today's episode, SabreTooth and Kizu interview Kevin Abosch, an OG crypto artist. Kevin began formal practice as an artist 33 years ago. Beginning with digital photography, he explains his art as always have been at the intersection of art and technology. After getting publicity from a project he built in which users of the portal could communicate anonymously, he was approached by a number of Bitcoin wallet companies who wanted to acquire the same technology. This sent him into a deepdive on all things blockchain. In January of 2018, Kevin made his first big statement by tokenizing himself in the form of 10 million ERC-20 tokens. This idea for I AM A COIN came to him after many years of feeling commodified as an artist. When Kevin released his book Bank in 2013, few people seemed to show interest in the subject matter. In fact, he explains, the mainstream is only just now beginning to show interest in crypto, which has previously been seen as an alien. For decades, digital art was very marginalized from the professional art world. Many early practitioners of digital art were not prolific and spoke the language of technology, which most traditional artists did not have in common. Art institutions are only growing interest in digital art now because of the monetary potential seen in the medium's growing popularity. There is very little consensus on what crypto and NFT art means, though for Kevin it is simply a methodology of creation. The traditional art world has been hesitant to accept pioneers of digital art, though they are slowly coming around. Kevin ultimately believes that if there is money to be made in this field, then those with money and in power positions will control the narrative, show, media and marketplace. They discuss trash art among other prominent “newer” art movements. Historically, we know that the art world loves a movement, as there is power in numbers. Among many NFT artists, it is clear that there is a lack of understanding regarding how their practice fits into the context of the tradition of making art for thousands of years. The “new” concepts, such as trash art and found art, have really been done for decades and are nothing new at all. Kevin discusses his first major NFT project 1111. Though the amount of work it required nearly killed him, it was a satisfying and well received project overall. The most challenging thing, he recalls, was finding the ability to sit back and watch his work be commodified. He prefers to know that his work has made it into good hands and people are finding enjoyment in it. This is a space, he has learned, in which you have the ability to create your own reality. As the episode wraps up, he reveals his favorite artist. Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review!

Fresh out of the studio, Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands joined us in a conversation about the story of the company and offered his perspectives on true digital ownership, blockchain gaming, NFTs and the open metaverse. Yat Siu started the conversation with his backstory and how he eventually spun off the company Animoca Brands from the parent company to focus on blockchain gaming. Last but not least, he share his thoughts on the open metaverse and what it means for true digital ownership and play to earn in the crypto gaming space. "The open Metaverse, from our perspective, is the real Metaverse, because you can then have ownership. Once you have ownership, you care to keep it because it's precious and meaningful to you, but if you don't own anything, then you actually don't care to protect it because you're just simply a guest. And I think this is part of why we are so excited about non fungible tokens as digital property rights." - Yat Siu Podcast Information: The show is hosted and produced by Bernard Leong (@bernardleong, Linkedin) and Carol Yin (@CarolYujiaYin, LinkedIn). Sound credits for the intro and end music: "Run it" by DJ Snake, Rick Ross and Rich Brian and the episode is edited by Geoffrey Thomas Craig.

This week, Adrian looks at whether buying digital art through NFTs (‘non-fungible tokens') is for suckers or savvy collectors. He's joined by Lory Kehoe, adjunct associate professor at Trinity Business School and director of digital assets at BNY Mellon. The discussion looks at the recent $69m auction sale at Christie's for an NFT-linked digital canvas, as well as the $2.9m sale of Jack Dorsey's first tweet via NFT and the growing prominence of Ireland's own Kevin Abosch, who has sold over €1m in NFT digital art in the last month. What exactly do you own when you buy a piece of art via NFT? What's to stop someone simply copying it at the click of a button? And where does it all fit in to the growth of crypto-currencies and blockchain? The two also look at the IPO of Coinbase and ask whether it's worth the extraordinary valuation.
An American son of German Jewish father and Irish mother, Kevin Abosch (born 1969) is an Irish conceptual artist known for his works in photography, sculpture, installation, AI, blockchain and film. Kevin's father escaped to safety in UK on the last train of the British-sponsored Kinder Transport program while the paternal grandparents were subsequently sent to Auschwitz where they were murdered along with 1 million Nazi victims, mainly Jewish. Because of his father's intimate connection to the Holocaust Kevin has developed a strong sense of obligation to other oppressed communities such as Uyghurs and Rohingyas. His work addresses the questions about identity and value, and he considers himself an artist-activist. Kevin talks to Dr. Maung Zarni on the FRC Genocide Podcast Series about: - His attempt to regain control over the process of commoditized art-artist; - On human identity & human values; - His collaboration with Ai Wei Wei ; - Recurring theme of genocides against various victims groups with different identities - #Jews #Rohingyas #Uyghurs; - His sense of obligation to other oppressed communities such as Uyghurs and Rohingyas; and - The unravelling of Truth in the age of Fake News
Earlier this year, Fast Company Magazine held their first ever European Innovation Festival in Milan, powered and hosted by Gucci. The Festival—titled The Dawn of Superintelligence—brought together talented and high-profile global thought leaders from the worlds of design, business, science and culture to discuss and share their insights on the relationship between man and machine. A handful of these influential visionaries were asked to share some of their thoughts with Gucci Podcast in short interviews recorded live from the Festival. For this episode, Editor in Chief of Fast Company Magazine, Stephanie Mehta, is joined by two world renowned artists and creators, Kevin Abosch and Martine Jarlgaard. Together they examine the evolving notion of identity in the technological era and the progressive and regressive outcomes of being able to create multiple digital selves at any one time.

Ten autumns ago came two watershed moments in the history of money. In September 2008, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers triggered a financial meltdown from which the world has yet to fully recover. The following month, someone using the name Satoshi Nakamoto introduced BitCoin, the first cryptocurrency. Before our eyes, the very architecture of money was evolving — potentially changing the world in the process. In this hour, On the Media looks at the story of money, from its uncertain origins to its digital reinvention in the form of cryptocurrency. 1.

Feb. 2, 2018, Can Blockchain Technology Solve Copyright Attribution Challenges of Digital Work? by Dr. Hadar Mazor, on IPWatchdog.com Practical blockchain purposes to solve copyright attribution problems: Efforts are being invested in leveraging blockchain technology to resolve challenges associated with copyright attribution to provide acknowledgment of copyright of a digital work of art to its holder or author. Problem: A digital work of art primarily exists in the form of intangible artifact and the digital work of art may not fit the form of the high-stakes international art market, which continues to rely on unique, original, tangible objects. Since a digital work of art does not yield artifacts that can be easily owned and traded in a conventional sense, their value may not be appropriately estimated. Copyright and other intellectual property tools are frequently employed to countervail this problem but with little success. Difficulty with this model: "Nonetheless, decentralized blockchain data storing technology relies on the trust of the group." She looks at a product called "NKOR" which "aims at utilizing a decentralized, cryptographically secure database blockchain-based technology, to document the recordation, reproduction, distribution and trade of digital works of art." http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/02/02/blockchain-technology-solve-copyright-attribution-digital-work/id=93161/ http://nkor.io 4.
