If you do your job right as a storyteller, people will think about the story later and realize the deeper meaning and the bigger themes and the allegory, all of that.

We dove deep into the concept of pseudonymity, the opportunity for gaming to adopt web3 technology, the promising future of DAOs and much more! ⬇️

“In a market like this, there is a high opportunity cost for not participating and that when you have an opportunity like this… you got to take advantage of it.

“Art is authenticity, art is storytelling that leads to connection, that leads to feeling human in a world where we live in an algorithm and we all feel so alone but we're not alone, we're all hurting and we need to speak about it and pain is part of the journey and that's what art shows, that's what art tells and if we're more human we grow together.” - Jimena Buena Vida, “Why Art?” w/ SHILLR.

David speaks to the new playgrounds that AI allows creators to explore ⬇️

“AI is allowing [artists] to expand the realms of the mediums and realms of creativity that they're comfortable experimenting and exploring in, because it just lets you take something you're already good at and augment it or allow you to go play in an area that maybe you always wanted to play in, but it seemed too complicated and now you can play in that playground.” - David Beiner from Hume, GENERAT3D w/ SHILLR.

We are excited to share that the 39th episode of the VAULT3D Podcast with Brayden Hall is LIVE!

In this episode, we explore how Brayden diversifies his income, balances his time between multiple gigs, curating collections, and more! Episode ⬇️

“Like there's people who made their first money in NFTs and they instantly think that that is now their job, that is now their career, and they just try so hard to make that a thing. And it's like, you've got to trust the process. Like this shit takes years. Like I got into NFTs and that was like starting all over again. If I was just doing NFTs, I would be fucking dead. I'd be poor, dude. Like I have no money. So you got to diversify your incomes.” - Brayden Hall, SHILLR VAULT3D Podcast, Episode 39.

Thursday, on GENERAT3D we chatted with Remnynt about world building, false dichotomies & paint bouncing like rubber 🖌️

Remnynt explains how software allows us to create systems that not only reproduce reality, but create things beyond the reality that we know 🫡

“Math, logic, and thought. To me, that's what software is. So that's the most infinite medium that's ever existed. You can reproduce things beyond the reality we know. In our lifetimes, we'll see computers go beyond what we're capable of imagining. And at that point, software is revealing that this is bigger than the human imagination.” - Remnynt, GENERAT3D w/ SHILLR.

Hear how Batz conceptualizes his biggest challenges ⬇️

“Embrace that big scary monumental task that you are taking on and you sit with it, you live it, you breathe it, you are consumed and surrounded by it. And it is important to embrace that because I think that's the thing that gets you over the hill or gets you to where you need to be.” - Batzdu, Why Art? w/ SHILLR

Tuesday on “Building”, we were joined by mikey where we dove into the backstory, epiphanies, and mental models behind building GALLERY 🖼️

Being early to crypto means there is a lot of blank space, and Mikey took full advantage 🔽

“It was the ground floor like OpenSea existed and like SuperRare existed, but there's nothing else. So I saw that as an open door and I was like, I just got to walk through like I have the experience. I want to create something and here's this world that is waiting to be built. Someone's gotta do it. No one's doing it today. Why not me?” - Mikey, Founder of GALLERY, BUILDING w/ SHILLR

This week on “GENERAT3D” | Presented by mmERCH, we chatted with root about his experience with computer programming, generative art & the mathematical principles that govern the universe ✨

Tuesday, on BUILDING w/ SHILLR, we had an powerful chat with derekedws, diving into his mental models & journey with both Collab_Currency & glitchmarfa ✨

So, what was it about crypto that led to Derek’s strong conviction in Web3? Here’s his answer… 🌐

“We just don't have a better technology for moving the world's value than what blockchains offer. And so as soon as I recognized this, I was just like, I'm all in for as long as it takes because the asymmetry is just so insane.” - Derek Edws, Collab Currency & Glitch Marfa, BUILDING w/ SHILLR.

Monday, on "Why Art?", we had an in-depth chat with Olivia Pedi discussing her journey through art, and her upcoming piece "analog dreams of the star" ✨

Liv's work is about highlighting who we are, and not what we have:

“Who you really are is so multifaceted, you can't be defined by what you own, like where you sleep at night, what you put on the internet, , there's just so much more to that and I feel like it really is just like getting to the core of a person rather than like the extra aesthetics.” - Olivia Pedi, Why Art? w/ SHILLR

Tuesday on the BUILDING w/ SHILLR Space, we had an insightful chat with Justin Melillo about all things virtual/XR and what he's up to at MONA 🌐

Here’s how Justin is looking at the future of the internet & how Mona is positioning itself 🔽

“I really saw what the future of the internet look was going to look like in it being more immersive. And so that's what really made me want to go down this path is because this is an immersive internet built on blockchain is just how all of us are going to be interacting in the future. And it's like there,there just wasn't that a great foundation there for creators and developers to really thrive. And so that's really what we were dedicated to building” - Justin Melillo, co-founder of MONA, BUILDING w/ SHILLR.

Dav shares how the provenance of onchain music can tangibly play into the future of sample culture ⬇️

“You'll be able to look back at something and say, okay, this was made from this. And this was made from this and trace it all the way back to whenever the thing was made, blockchain allows us to have that kind of provenance with things in a really tangible way.” - dav, GENERAT3D w/ SHILLR.
