Context S2: AR, VR and the new frontier of art production with Douglass, founder and CEO of Wild

Blake has a fantastic convo with Douglass, founder and CEO of Wild, a hyper-curated web3 art platform whose investors include Cozomo de Medici, Crypto & NFT Investor and Kevin Lin, Founder of Twitch. They talk about the definition of "experiential art" and how Wild is at the forefront of discovering and supporting this emerging artistic medium. They also discuss the "spatial internet" and how AR and VR technology will play a big role in creating new artistic experiences that were not possible before. It's a super interesting discussion and one that doesn't happen enough in web3 circles, as AR and VR often get forgotten.  Blake couldn't help but highlight some of the grails from Douglass' own digital art collection, including pieces from Mitchell Chan, Dmitri Cherniak and Holly Herndon. As expected, they dive into some history around digital art and one of the most innovative artists' of the 20th century, Yves Klein.  They also chat about Douglass' incredible track record building successful companies. They go through what he learned from founding and running Apartmentlist about leadership and pushing through adversity amongst trying times. It's a great episode for anyone who is building a company, interested in the history of crypto art, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about AR and VR's applications in art production and web3. --Subscribe to the free Boys Club weekly newsletter.-- Show notes: Wild website Wild Twitter Douglass Twitter
