In this Le Random third quarter round-up, Peter Bauman (Monk Antony, Le Random's editor in chief) sits down with lerandom.art/subjects/thefunnyguys (Le Random co-founder & CEO) and Conrad House (Nemo Cake, former Collection Lead at Le Random) to reflect on the biggest shifts in digital art this past quarter.
They discuss how Toledo Museum of Art (lerandom.art/subjects/toledo-museum-of-art)’s Infinite Images exhibition signaled a new era of institutional support for digital art and how MoMA (lerandom.art/subjects/moma)’s debut of Sasha Stiles (lerandom.art/subjects/sasha-stiles)’s A Living Poem brought art and emerging technologies into a major museum lobby. They debate the fallout from Christie’s restructuring its digital art department, share insights on the launch of Raster (lerandom.art/subjects/raster), thefunnyguys' new artist-profile aggregator and marketplace, and dive deep into the rise of the Solana Avant scene on VVV (lerandom.art/subjects/vvv) — from Parker Ito (lerandom.art/subjects/parker-ito)’s and Biscuit’s schizocollage aesthetic to the generational shift it represents.
Plus market sentiment, favorites of the quarter and much, much more.
Also in this episode: Drifella III (lerandom.art/subjects/drifella-iii), Art Blocks (lerandom.art/subjects/art-blocks), Copper Giloth (lerandom.art/subjects/copper-giloth), Evil Biscuit (lerandom.art/subjects/evil-biscuit), lerandom.art/subjects/fxhash, Hic et Nunc (HEN) (lerandom.art/subjects/hic-et-nunc-hen), David Hockney (lerandom.art/subjects/david-hockney), DEAFBEEF (lerandom.art/subjects/deafbeef), Harm van den Dorpel (lerandom.art/subjects/harm-van-den-dorpel), Minne Atairu (lerandom.art/subjects/minne-atairu)
