Waiting To Sit: Interview with Luke Shannon

Will & Trinity sit down with Luke Shannon to discuss everything about chairs, chair-ness, and his his upcoming 'Seating Arrangements' release on Tonic.xyz

In this episode we discuss:

• Luke's background in art & coding, and how he introduced generative processes to his practice
• How algorithmic exploration unlocks new understanding of a medium
• Luke's inspiration for working on a generative chair & some of the technical aspects to describing a chair through code
• The value of friction and discomfort in designed objects
• The tie between physical and digital and the role NFTs play in Luke's work
• The longevity of blockchains and preservation

Sorry for Will's technical issues on this one :)
