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
