The WTBS crew is extremely excited to bring you this interview with Valérie Whitacre, Head of Art at Trilitech. As Tezos enthusiasts and collectors, we know surprisingly little about what is going on with the teams that are in charge of shepherding our beloved ecosystem into the future.

In this episode we discuss:

• Valérie's history in the legacy art world and how she came to TriliTech
• What IS TriliTech and what are their goals with art and Tezos?
• The significance of the New Art Movement we are experiencing.
• The challenges of the legacy art world and their resistance to web3
• the value of infinitely reproducible art.
• The virtues of Tezos as a Layer 1 chain!

Our first-ever interview with an artist who has not dropped on fx(hash)... yet. We hope enjoy this conversation with Cory, recorded a week before the release of Atmospheres on Verse. Atmospheres is Cory's follow-up to SOL, the project that first put him on our radar. We enjoyed digging into Cory's history in art, his shift to coding, his passion for building & plotting, and the stories of SOL and Atmospheres. We also learned Cory's current evaluation of the market, his philosophy on releasing projects, and more. Huge thanks to Cory for taking the time to come on the show and sharing so candidly about his art and process.

The day has finally come... WTBS sits down (virtually) with the legend herself, Lisa Orth. In this episode we dive into Lisa's story and her history with art, the origin of her signature color palette, any why Tezos is punk. This conversation is especially rich with life lessons and perspective on how to live a truly passionate life, we hope you enjoy!
