Love how you share your working process, your accidental painterliness et al. Oh man! Pure Inspiration...

Beautiful music

I will make my way to the Philadelphia museum August 10 . Inspiring !

These museum people really think it's all about them and their employer. The artist is just an add on.

Awesome. I wish I was there. So Interesting. Doug Ruffin is an excellent film maker....

I could listen to this gentleman speak all day! I always take away something new, and not necessarily related specifically to art.

I've always said the $ is good but the feeling you get when you see there reaction to your work. That's the best part

😍😍😍

Awsome video, very inspiring.

I just wish he still sang for cheeseburger.

Just pulled this up on Google Street View and it looked great at the time Google captured it. The Google software even blurred the faces of the people included in the scene. maps.app.goo.gl/Hym7Nqn23LAHueLd8?g_st=ic

It was an honor to Ex. Produce this video. Thank you AKG staff and all who believe!

AWESOME !!!

So cool!!!

I see much of the groundswell of artists using NFT technology starting around 2018 being more from the outsider art community. And a few traditional artists like Hackatao, Matt Kane and Lawrence Lee. In my experience most of the artists of this period were excluded from the traditional art market or just new artists who discovered themselves as artists. Oddballs and misfits many of which had no real knowledge of the digital art trends from 1960 - 2000. Yes some of them were from the netArt community. It seemed like more of a backlash against gatekeepers of the past than a continuation of older digital art trends. I have found many of my fellow artists were more influenced by Nam June Paik, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, David Bowie, than the current trends in digital art. I am also of the opinion that the branding and attachment of the visual art to the token is part of the art. It is a further progression that the artists above push toward. Branding, hype, person to person transactions are ideas that cryptoArt was trying to explore. Crypto Art exhibits the concept that money and art are the same, they are intertwined. In the early days of crypto art I don't really think it was influenced that much by traditional digital art. I think it came on a parallel track to the "art world". A place deeper in the world culture. I have found it much more diverse environment to work with others and more transparent. The earlier crypto art came from a culture of people who were / are building a new monitory system and the idea of decentralization. It has a different culture and artists came out of it to express some of the values of that culture. It is not at its heart a system to host black markets. It is a place of very creative programmers and technologists looking for a new way to deal with corruption and hidden markets in the world. The smart contract and the NFT pointer to an image file are built on this concept of decentralization. The outsider to the traditional art market did not have a way to use the certificate of authenticity mechanic. It was not recognized by the general public as an item of value.CoAs are not very transparent and imply a centralized authority. Why does the Museum have to be the registrar of the CoA? It would be nice if governments would recognize a smart contract as a legal contract. What if I put a link to a license or CoA in the metadata of the NFT? Or write a license or CoA into the NFT on chain. Would that suffice for a museum to hold ownership? Much of the early crypto art visually was often meme like and self referential in that it pointed back at the token in the blockchain. Some art you can separate from the token but the dividing line is not the metadata link to the jpg on IPFS. It is more of a conceptual point that the visual file is connected to the token. Much of my cryptoArt the token is part of the art in my mind. But I do value the idea of on chain art but it is just a more limiting medium to work in visually. I have created my own on chain art and art where heart of the art is the smart contract but it is almost a different medium from the visual image linked separately.

One can only dream to paint on such a scale. Her work is always amazing❣

Cuties!

Oh wow yes to when a painting is finished if feels like looking at someone else's painting in a way! Ha, never thought of it like that, but he's onto something with being able to look at it with some sort of removed point of view, that moment when it's finished. Great little interview. Thank you.

So true about the ego thing. Not easy to maintain, but if you're not at least trying? Trouble.

I love the art of this artist, is a bit faraway from tipical current styles. Ten points!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing!!

Wonderful to hear Dindga share the history of Where We At!

Why do they not go tho the rich Gulfstates like SA , Quatar , Kuwait , VAE etc? Very wealthy countries and islamic too! Why always the US or Europe?

You do an amazing job Logan. Would love to see one of your murals in person someday.

Yes

Eric deserves better commentary than what I’m seeing here!!

Congrats AKG, thank you for creating a platform for voices in art rarely celebrated and under served. My daughter Badriyah is the second artist/speaker in the video; she loves working in the creative universe!
