In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, hosts Bill, JF, and Rhett sit down with the multifaceted Kenny Schachter – artist, writer, curator, and leading voice in the NFT movement, who has spent over three decades challenging art world conventions.
Kenny shares his remarkable journey from philosophy student to self-taught art expert, revealing how he stumbled into the art world and later embraced blockchain technology.
Whether you're interested in art, NFTs, or the future of creative expression in the digital age, Kenny's provocative insights and entertaining stories offer a unique perspective from someone operating at the intersection of traditional and digital art worlds.
Key topics include:
- Kenny's unconventional path from law school to becoming an art world provocateur
- Why he believes "NFT" has become a pejorative term in today's culture
- His controversial stance against royalties in the NFT space
- The intersection of AI, blockchain, and traditional art
- His experiences with hacks that led to significant crypto losses
- How the art market functions as a "zero-sum game of economics"
The hosts also provide updates on crypto markets and discuss developments with Avant Protocol, which has reached 40 million TVL without token incentives.
