Telling the Story of Generative Art: Interview with MonkAntony

This week we dive deep into the history of generative art with the legendary MonkAntony AKA Peter Bauman. You might know Monk from his early presence collecting on fx(hash), or his writing on Right Click Save. More recently he has joined the team at Le Random, working with them to build out the massive timeline of Everything related to generative art. In this episode we discuss:

• Monk's history in art and NFTs
• Monk's philosophy for collecting and how that as evolved as he has expanded his knowledge through research.
• How Monk's initial writing for Tender landed him a role at Le Random
• What IS Le Random, how do they collect and what are their goals?
• Writing and researching the 1,000 moments that make up the Generative Art Timeline
• The origin of the MonkAntony name, how to say it, and other Rapid Fire questions.
