The Net Society crew (minus Derek) is joined by artist 113 for a deep dive into the evolving intersection of art, crypto, and programmable cryptography. They kick things off with a discussion on Ethereum’s cultural role and whether its future is more about financial infrastructure or artistic settlement. The conversation then turns to NFTs, unpacking their identity crisis as they question whether they are truly art or just a cleverly packaged product. They explore crypto’s ongoing quest for legitimacy, debating the tension between institutional validation and groundbreaking innovation. 113 sheds light on the untapped potential of programmable cryptography, introducing new possibilities for digital expression and anonymous collaboration. The crew also touches on crypto’s frontier status, comparing it to past technological shifts and examining the battle between state control and digital sovereignty. They wrap up with reflections on where crypto culture is headed and how artists and builders can shape its next chapter.
