About Pattern Recognition

Artist Chuck Anderson, also known as NoPattern, in collaboration with Zora presents "Pattern Recognition," a 1-on-1 interview podcast featuring conversations with some of the most creative minds in the world. With almost two decades of experience as a working artist, Chuck offers unique insight into the challenges and opportunities for creators who make and distribute their work online. The podcast began as "NFT Pirate Radio," a Discord-based interview series hosted by DAO Friends with Benefits. With over 50 shows aired, NFT Pirate Radio featured some of the most influential artists, builders, and thought leaders in web3. The team behind Pirate Radio has come up with a better, more accessible format and a new name; instead of a time-sensitive, gated live Discord interview, they are now pre-recorded, high-fidelity audio interviews that available for all to hear and are also minted on-chain via the ZORA Network. Topics include starting and running a creative practice, navigating art sales, working with brands and clients, the trials, failures, wins, and stories of professional creative careers, and getting to know the personal stories that led the guests to where they are now, all with a super laid back, unstructured vibe.

   Episode 026 --- MPKoz

   Michael Kozłowski, often known by mpkoz, is a media artist & software developer who works with real-time graphics, mixed reality, and interactivity. Michael joins Chuck for the final episode of 2023 to talk about the before and after of his professional life - working for years at Microsoft and in corporate settings then making the leap to fully independent artist in 2021. We discuss growing up in Montana, being a film major, on-the-job learning from the big brains he worked with at Microsoft, using company resources for your own art, mushroom foraging, his foray into NFTs, fooling people into thinking code-based work is hand-done, mechanically-generated art with clocks, and fantasy football.

   Episode 025 --- Diana Sinclair

   Diana Sinclair is an artist & photographer based in Jersey City, NJ. A personal favorite interview of mine, Diana shares her inspired journey both personally and creatively to this point in her life; at 19 years old she is the youngest guest to date, and is stunningly accomplished for such an early stage in one's career. Having already exhibited work with Christie's and worked with the likes of TIME and Meta, Diana's career is off to the races. She also discusses her relationship to swimming and water as a major point of inspiration in her life and work.

   Episode 024 --- ThankYouX

   ThankYouX (Ryan Wilson) is a Los Angeles-based artist who has risen to prominence in recent years thanks in large part to his innovative work combining physical and digital work in exciting new ways. Whether he's embedding an actual screen that contains digital artwork & an NFT into a large painting or bringing his brushstrokes to life with 3D and moving works, ThankYouX is constantly pushing boundaries and building bridges from screen to canvas and back again. We discuss all of this as well as his upbringing, early days in street art, collaborations, and his upcoming show 'inertia' opening at Sothebys LA in late November 2023.
