Description

WTBS lands a dream guest, Jacek Markusiewicz! Both of us have been following and collecting work by Jacek since his earliest days releasing on fx(hash). We are so excited to share this episode with him ahead of his Verse Solos release, Barbarians! In this episode we discuss:

• Jacek's background in art and coding & how he came to Tezos to start releasing his work as NFTs
• Architectural history and the story behind Unbuilt and Reborn, two of his earliest works on fx(hash)
• The concept behind Hollow & the experience of 'breaking through' with a release in such a big way
• The story of Barbarians, how it relates to his more recent work & the duality of existence!
• The pressure of curating and how Barbarians will be released on Verse
• Strategy for releasing work, picking platforms & thinking about newer chains that are emerging as places for art
• rapid fire!
