EPISODE 3: IS ART BLOCKCHAIN’S KILLER APPLICATION?
———-
PART 1
———-
Amid the current crypto boom, we sit down with artists Casey Reas and Simon Denny to talk blockchain. More artists than ever are experimenting with and understanding digital processes. Now, blockchain is radically revolutionising and democratising the art world, the ways in which art is made, sold and distributed. Touted as being a gateway to a fairer society, how is blockchain shaping art and how is art shaping blockchain in return? We meet pioneer Casey Reas, whose open source programming software ‘Processing’ (2001) for artists helped to revolutionise access and engagement with Digital Art, as blockchain and NFTs are now. And Simon Denny, whose self-proclaimed ‘fan art’ tracks the ‘hype cycles’ of blockchain and visions for the future promoted by technologists and business.
