Curious About NFTs? New Interview with Brendan Dawes

Today’s podcast guest is?Brendan Dawes?- a UK-based award-winning artist whose career has focused on using generative processes involving data, machine learning and algorithms, to create interactive installations, electronic objects, online experiences, data visualisations, motion graphics and screen and print work. Listen here.

His work has been celebrated all over the world including three Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) exhibitions in NY and his?Cinema Redux?project - which we discuss in this interview – actually became part of the permanent MoMA collection in 2008.

Brendan now focuses his time on NFTs with his first being sold within one hour of its launch on the?KnownOrigin?platform, and was acquired by the legendary NFT collector?WhaleShark. Brendan went on to release a collection on?Nifty Gateway?which sold out in less than a minute!?

In today’s episode, we discuss NFTs and the impact they have had on the design world, how the tough times in Brendan’s career led to his success, and how being included in Sotheby’s first NFT auction was such a pivotal moment for him, and the industry.

I am a huge fan of Brendan and his work and urge you to find him?on Twitter?and follow him. And if you want to check out his work, he has another drop scheduled on Nifty Gateway for 23rd February so do check it out – it’s called?16Bit Machine Dreams and it’s the third and final part of his machine dreams series, inspired by video games.

If you have a spare two minutes, I would be thrilled if you were able to like, share and review the podcast - it means the world to me and helps others to find it too.

Thanks, as always, and I hope you enjoy my interview with Brendan Dawes.
