Entangled Cities: Interview with Bjørn Staal

On the eve of on of the most exciting generative art releases of 2024, and the inaugural fx(hash) Vertex drop... we are so pleased to share with you our interview with Bjørn Staal aka _nonfigurativ_. Bjørn went viral last year when he shared his entangled particle systems interacting across two browser windows. His project is finally ready for release and coming to fx(hash) on both the Tezos and Ethereum blockchains.

In this episode we discuss:

• Bjørn's background in art and coding
• The story and history behind Entangled
• Working with the fx(hash) team to be the first Vertex release
• How Entangled works across chains & some behind-the-scenes tech talk
• Minting dynamics and pricing a project for two chains & making a statement as an artist and platform
• Bjørn's history with open-source and publishing the code behind Entangled (eventually)
• The market, success, expectations & existing as a full-time artist in web3
• Rapid fire!
