Artist Spotlight: Sterling Crispin

Eli (Head of Art, PROOF) has an enlightening conversation with Sterling Crispin, an engineer, conceptual artist, and contributor to Apple's Vision Pro. Sterling's unique background in multimedia engineering and fine art has led him to explore the intersection of technology and nature in his work.  The two also discussed Sterling's NFT artworks Neophyte and Flourish, and the inspirations behind each. Sterling shares insights into machine learning and what led to his work on the “deeply psychedelic” Apple Vision Pro, and offers his thoughts on the potential impact of the headset on our everyday lives.  Follow Sterling on Twitter | https://twitter.com/sterlingcrispin  More Sterling Links | https://www.sterlingcrispin.com/links.html  _________ Stay connected with PROOF: Follow Eli on Twitter | https://twitter.com/eli_schein  Check out PROOF Daily Countdown on YouTube | https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsvBBjkB4w7b1rL4uzAqM894nzYxDc2-1  Turn Notifications on for Proof Podcasts on Twitter | http://twitter.com/proofpodcasts  __________ 00:00 Intro 01:20 Background in Engineering & Digital Art 04:28 First Art Blocks Project Neophyte | https://www.sterlingcrispin.com/neophyte_mmxxii.html  09:45 Narratives about the Future Bitcoin Mining Sculpture | https://www.sterlingcrispin.com/self_contained_investment_module.html  13:22 Introduction to NFTs 16:08 Apple Vision Pro Sterling’s Tweet | https://twitter.com/sterlingcrispin/status/1665792422914453506?s=20  21:30 The Intersection of Art & Apple Vision Pro 27:07 Upcoming Art Blocks Release: August 30, 2023 Flourish | https://www.sterlingcrispin.com/flourish.html  29:32 Artist Inspirations John Baldessari | https://www.thebroad.org/art/john-baldessari Deafbeef | https://twitter.com/_deafbeef
