The Distance of a Bird: Interview with Iskra Velitchkova

Waiting To Be Signed

WTBS is thrilled to have Iskra Velitchkova in the virtual studio for a long-overdue interview! In this episode we discuss:

• Iskra's background in art, coding & data science and how she transitioned to creating art full time.
• Finding inspiration to start working through books & "The Pause"
• The connections of places to moments in Iskra's work & the transition to 'long form' generative art with Uninhabitable.
• Will we ever recapture that feeling of HEN & early fx(hash) community?
• Defining success and deciding between chains and platforms to release projects
• The 'generative religion' of the NFT collector base & how collectors evaluate and define what they want to buy
• The big question: What can we learn about ourselves through technology?
• The potential to incorporate data into future projects
• What might we see (or smell) from Iskra in the future?
• The personal choice & struggle around committing to art as a career
• A very brief Rapid Fire!
