WTBS is thrilled to have Iskra Velitchkova in the virtual studio for a long-overdue interview! In this episode we discuss:
- Iskra's background in art, coding & data science and how she transitioned to creating art full time.
- Finding inspiration to start working through books & "The Pause"
- The connections of places to moments in Iskra's work & the transition to 'long form' generative art with Uninhabitable.
- Will we ever recapture that feeling of HEN & early fx(hash) community?
- Defining success and deciding between chains and platforms to release projects
- The 'generative religion' of the NFT collector base & how collectors evaluate and define what they want to buy
- The big question: What can we learn about ourselves through technology?
- The potential to incorporate data into future projects
- What might we see (or smell) from Iskra in the future?
- The personal choice & struggle around committing to art as a career
- A very brief Rapid Fire!
