33 Reimagining Art Practice with UFO — @ivanosalonia.lens

Ivano Salonia is the creative director of UFO, based in Amsterdam. An artist, musician and creator in extended realities and virtual worlds. He is the artist behind the UFO poster art and NFTs.

Since July 2022, Ivano and @hollins.lens have been creating the visual identity, art and brand of UFO. We went to ETH Tokyo in April and hacked on a UFO project with Lens Protocol and @livepeer.lens. We just built a website at ufo.fm — an onchain radio station and club for music, arts and ideas. This podcast is the first on the network.

We talk about Ivano’s artistic practice starting out in advertising, design and brand. Doing work with global companies and agencies. How he became interested in making art in virtual reality, and experiments with AI and generative tools such as Midjourney. Diving into the web3, crypto and NFTs space from 2020.

We talk about the creative scene in Amsterdam and the creation of the UFO art style and drops including UFO Genesis Pass and the Frequency Modulation release on Zora, remixing a retro MTV ad from the 1980s.

Feeling damn good today, and I couldn't resist sharing a new song snippet with y’all Manifesting and speaking things into existence is my  thing, and this year, I'm determined to achieve one of my main goals: performing overseas for the very first time. London is on the top of the list! I think my sound resonates well with the vibe of the city, and I can't wait to perform there. The record itself is a love story. Happy how this song came out, and I hope y'all love this sneak peek as much as I do! 🎶✨ #NewMusic #MusicNFT #London #HipHop #Campfire
