Join us as we welcome fx(hash) & overall genart legend Erik Swahn to his very first podcast appearance! We have been fans and collectors of Erik for 2+ years now and are thrilled to have him on the show to discuss his practice & upcoming release, Autoscope, on Verse
In this episode we discuss:
- Erik's background in art & coding and how he discovered NFTs as a way to release his work
- Erik's earliest fx(hash) releases, Retrogrades and Disegnatori, and how they play into the overall themes of his work
- Farbteiler's origin as a synesthetic system for learning piano + palettes and color construction
- Punktwelt, Fields & Erik's current style as it has evolved from Farbteiler
- Embracing 'Collector Curated' as a mechanism for release & collectors hitting the mark in their selections
- Maintaining a consistent visual style without fatiguing collectors
- Autoscope on Verse & adding animation to create a sense of place to the work
- Releasing with Verse for Erik's last 3 projects and how he thinks about platforms and blockchains
- Rapid Fire!
