WTBS is back with our first interview of 2024, a special episode with artist Frank Manzano & collector/curator Artie Handz! The Artie Gallery is bringing "ScheduledProgramming" to Verse on January 11, 2024. In this episode we discuss:
- Artie's background in art & collecting and how he came to start his Gallery with Verse
- Frank's background in art & AI and how he got started selling his work as NFTs
- How Artie first found Frank's work and why they are working together for this first Gallery release
- The dystopic themes in Frank's work and finding hope in unsettling subjects
- The excitement of discovery with AI, Frank's process, and what A.I. brings to the work that couldn't be found elsewhere
- Legal issues arriving with A.I. and how Artie evaluates A.I. work as a collector
- Rapid Fire
