Shownotes
In this episode, Mat Dryhurst joins us to discuss how digital art has evolved over the past decade and where it's heading next.
We talk about blockchain, NFTs, AI, and the idea of protocol art - works that are defined less by a single image or object than by the rules, systems, and networks that produce them. Along the way, we discuss collecting, curation, online communities, software as an artistic medium, and why some of the most important developments in contemporary art are happening outside traditional institutions.
