Ep83 Tub Based Technology
<p>The Net Society crew welcomes collector and digital art advocate Redbeard for a wide-ranging conversation about where crypto art goes next. They begin with the upcoming Basel exhibition and the challenge of building a genuine art movement without losing the strange, internet-native culture that made the space compelling. From there, the group examines the need for more collectors, contributors, artist residencies, and other forms of patronage beyond simply buying work. The conversation turns to the parallel AI art ecosystem, asking whether AI art and crypto art will converge or remain distinct movements shaped by different ideas of process, permanence, and ownership. Redbeard then responds to recent debates around innovation, gatekeeping, and the supposed collector cabal, arguing that structural problems are real but experimentation and opportunity remain. The crew explores accessible pricing, community building, artistic quality, and why some artists are better equipped than others to develop sustainable careers. They close by calling for digital art to stop chasing institutional approval, rediscover its disruptive energy, and embrace the cultural transformation being driven by AI, robotics, and a new generation of creators.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned in the episode</strong></p><p>Special guest Redbeard <a href="https://x.com/redbeardnft">https://x.com/redbeardnft</a></p><p>Art Basel <a href="https://x.com/ArtBasel">https://x.com/ArtBasel</a></p><p>Aire bathshttps://<a href="http://beaire.com/en/aire-ancient-baths-newyork#">beaire.com/en/aire-ancient-baths-newyork#</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show & Hosts</strong></p><p>Net Society: <a href="https://x.com/net__society">https://x.com/net__society</a></p><p>Aaron Wright: <a href="https://x.com/awrigh01">https://x.com/awrigh01</a></p><p>Chris F: <a href="https://x.com/ChrisF_0x">https://x.com/ChrisF_0x</a></p><p>Derek Edwards: <a href="https://x.com/derekedws">https://x.com/derekedws</a></p><p>Priyanka Desai: <a href="https://x.com/pridesai">https://x.com/pridesai</a></p><p>Producer/Editor: <a href="https://x.com/0xFnkl">https://x.com/0xFnkl</a></p><p><br></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Redbeard, Basel & Building an Art Movement </li> <li>(07:11) - Supporting Artists Beyond Collecting </li> <li>(11:16) - AI Art, Crypto Art & Competing Ontologies </li> <li>(25:55) - Criticism, Innovation & the Collector Cabal </li> <li>(36:14) - Patronage, Pricing & Creative Infrastructure </li> <li>(49:50) - Artistic Success, Community & Distribution </li> <li>(57:10) - Institutions, Disruption & a New Renaissance </li> <li>(01:07:10) - Welcome & Disclaimer </li> </ul>

Ep82 Congrats Cassandra
<p>The Net Society crew is back together for a wide-ranging conversation on crypto, AI, art, and the strange timing problems shaping the current market. They begin with the disconnect between crypto prices and onchain growth, weighing durable signals like stablecoins, RWAs, ETH activity, and agent standards against leverage, volatility, and renewed concerns around Zcash. From there, the episode turns into a deeper debate about AI fast takeoff, IPO narratives, model costs, market bubbles, and whether rapid technological progress can still create near-term economic dislocation. The crew then shifts into digital art, asking whether the next wave of creative energy is moving away from traditional NFT markets and into AI-driven artistic production. They close by exploring the coming wealth effects of AI IPOs, the future of philanthropy, the millennial midlife crisis, personalized media, community, and whether AI should be shaped by sovereign wealth funds, taxes, or broader industrial policy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned in the episode</strong></p><p>AI is moving fast <a href="https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2062568862479208923">https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2062568862479208923</a></p><p>Third wave of American philanthropy <a href="https://nanransohoff.substack.com/p/the-third-wave-of-american-philanthropy">https://nanransohoff.substack.com/p/the-third-wave-of-american-philanthropy</a></p><p>Gmoney and Hunter Biden? <a href="https://x.com/gmoneyNFT/status/2062888418229596409?s=20">https://x.com/gmoneyNFT/status/2062888418229596409?s=20</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show & Hosts</strong></p><p>Net Society: <a href="https://x.com/net__society">https://x.com/net__society</a></p><p>Aaron Wright: <a href="https://x.com/awrigh01">https://x.com/awrigh01</a></p><p>Chris F: <a href="https://x.com/ChrisF_0x">https://x.com/ChrisF_0x</a></p><p>Derek Edwards: <a href="https://x.com/derekedws">https://x.com/derekedws</a></p><p>Priyanka Desai: <a href="https://x.com/pridesai">https://x.com/pridesai</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Production</strong></p><p>Producer/Editor: <a href="https://x.com/0xFnkl">https://x.com/0xFnkl</a></p><p></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Crypto Drawdown vs Onchain Growth </li> <li>(05:37) - Zcash, Product Design & Verification </li> <li>(07:37) - AI Fast Takeoff, IPOs & Market Timing </li> <li>(30:11) - Digital Art, AI Creativity & NFTs </li> <li>(37:22) - AI Wealth, Philanthropy & Millennial Midlife </li> <li>(47:08) - Personal Media, Community & Life Stages </li> <li>(52:21) - AI Industrial Policy, Taxes & Tech Optimism </li> <li>(59:44) - Welcome & Disclaimer </li> </ul>

Ep81 Stay Native
<p>The Net Society crew is joined by Alejandro from Fellowship for a full-episode debate on the state of NFTs, crypto art, and digital art in 2026. Sparked by Pri’s essay and Alejandro’s response, the conversation digs into what made NFTs feel new in the first place, from internet-native markets and global distribution to transparent ownership and community formation. Alejandro pushes on the limits of decentralization, arguing that while ownership and access may be open, attention, visibility, and support are still far more centralized than the space likes to admit. From there, the crew debates whether crypto art has drifted too far toward traditional art logic, whether collectors are asking the wrong things from the medium, and whether artists need to take bigger risks with work that feels native to the rails. They also explore the difference between crypto art, digital art, and contemporary art, before turning to attention, distribution, pricing, auctions, royalties, and the long hangover from the last NFT cycle. The episode wraps with a more open-ended conclusion: there is no single path forward, but the space probably needs more experimentation, more honest reflection, and less nostalgia for the moment when everything only went up.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned in the episode</strong></p><p>Special guest Alejandro Cartagena <a href="https://x.com/halecar2">https://x.com/halecar2</a></p><p>Pri’s ‘Stay Native’ article <a href="https://x.com/pridesai/status/2057851772924833837">https://x.com/pridesai/status/2057851772924833837</a></p><p>Alejandro’s response <a href="https://x.com/halecar2/status/2058180410476019953">https://x.com/halecar2/status/2058180410476019953</a></p><p>Joana’s response <a href="https://x.com/museumghostart/status/2058550572345704895">https://x.com/museumghostart/status/2058550572345704895</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show & Hosts</strong></p><p>Net Society: <a href="https://x.com/net__society">https://x.com/net__society</a></p><p>Aaron Wright: <a href="https://x.com/awrigh01">https://x.com/awrigh01</a></p><p>Chris F: <a href="https://x.com/ChrisF_0x">https://x.com/ChrisF_0x</a></p><p>Derek Edwards: <a href="https://x.com/derekedws">https://x.com/derekedws</a></p><p>Priyanka Desai: <a href="https://x.com/pridesai">https://x.com/pridesai</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Production & Marketing</strong></p><p>Producer/Editor: <a href="https://x.com/0xFnkl">https://x.com/0xFnkl</a></p><p>Social: <a href="https://x.com/v_kirra">https://x.com/v_kirra</a></p><p><br></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Pri’s Essay & Alejandro’s Response </li> <li>(02:27) - Decentralization, Visibility & Support </li> <li>(05:39) - Crypto Art Fundamentals & Collector Fit </li> <li>(13:21) - Categories, Risk & Native Work </li> <li>(27:11) - Crypto Art, Digital Art & Open Definitions </li> <li>(37:10) - Attention, Distribution & Market Coordination </li> <li>(45:20) - Time, Price Discovery, Royalties & Paths Forward </li> <li>(01:02:45) - Welcome & Disclaimer </li> </ul>
