The Dial Pirate Radio: Marzipan Physics
Do you feel threatened? What makes art, and artists, valuable when AI is everything. Are we doomed to corporate takeover or can art rise up above the noise? Catch up with @marzipanphysics.lens in this timely chat.
The Dial Pirate Radio: 0009.eth
Another far reaching talk on The Dial Pirate Radio. This time with @0_0_0_9.lens , about everything from growing up with graffiti and skateboarding to how car design led directly to NFTs.
One of many choice bits: 'in the early days nobody accepted it, they were just like "what is this shit?", you know? like "no, it's not art, it's not art, it's not art," and now look, graffiti is recognized as maybe the only American modern art form ever.'
The Dial Pirate Radio: Souls
"I couldn't make myself go out there and get a real job and not this art stuff. Because I don't know, I thought I'd feel like a failure if I stopped doing what I do and go somewhere else."
In this art stuff, is there anything more real than this? The tension and emotion being pulled between continuing with our creative impulse wherever it takes us, or somehow returning to a normal life and whatever that means.
The Dial Pirate Radio: Hildiebird
"I looked at a printout of the image that I had created in AI and just kind of drew it and painted it in ink and wax. And so I mean, who knows what will come next?" The push and pull at the boundaries of analog and AI, arts and sciences, are far more subtle and filled with human tension than many cookie cutter tweet storms in a teapot might make us believe...
Hildiebird shares the questions she asks herself about it on this dispatch from The Dial Pirate Radio.
