Stories told about technology, context as medium and reanimating dot-com companies with Simon Denny

We invited artist Simon Denny over to our studio for the final podcast of the year to go deep on his practice, a commitment to exploring context as a medium, making crypto art and exhibitions before everyone cared, and Dotcom Seance, his wild new art project on Folia.A perfect guest to close out the year! We will be taking a break for the first week of January to focus on something big to be announced soon, and will also be doing an AMA in the early  new year - send over questions!Happy new year everyone and thank you <3Simon Denny: https://simondenny.net/DOTCOM SEANCE: https://www.dotcomseance.com/ Proof of Stake Exhibition at Hamburg Kunstverein Contextual data dump:Making art about stories told about technologyHistory of art funding and institutional critiqueContext as an expanded medium of expressionUnprecedented Participatory auction dynamicsIndustrialist patrons aren't newProof of Stake Exhibition at Hamburg KunstvereinCollector DAOs - Fingerprints/FlamingoProtocol art/Situating crypto art on a longer historical timeline as a sign of maturity for the spaceOff chain work in the crypto canonWhat canon is, how it is created, and is it changing?Does an art world want to be decentralized?Can we have a flamingoDAO book please?When traditional habits start to reappear as rationalGalleries and intermediaries still kindof make sense when they know what they are doingEvolution of art fairsFolia!Dotcom Seance: bringing dot com companies back from the deadpets.comCashWars and FunBugs experimenting with their Seance ENSThe amount of time it takes to run tokenised art projectsThe relevance of Web 1 to the present dayCD-ROMSHow to reconcile slower art making practices with the speed of information exchangeInterdependenceLate night debate about conceptual art and beautyIs anything ugly?Beauty is in the eye of the token holder!BeepleWe (Interdependence) are doing an AMA soon - questions in comments ;)
