- What does your genesis artwork mean to you today?
My genesis piece, rooted in glitch, pixel art, and skulls, laid the foundation for my artistic identity in the crypto space. Since its creation, I've consistently expanded upon and evolved this distinctive style, crafting a cohesive body of work that explores the intersection of glitch aesthetics and skull motifs, maintaining a visual thread that defines my creative journey.

- What was a significant event that happened in the 10-year history of Blockchain art that influenced you as an artist?
The moment that significantly influenced me was the discovery of artists like XCOPY and BEEPLE. XCOPY's innovative approach to blending technology with art and BEEPLE's Everydays both captivate and inspire me. Their work has driven me to carve out my own distinct style in this ever growing space.

- What message(s) are you sharing in your new {R(Evolutionaries);} artwork?
My new artwork "Doom Vision Pro" offers a raw reflection on the transformative impact of technology on human life. The figure of Death, adorned with a VR headset, symbolizes our deepening reliance on technology, blurring the lines between the digital and the tangible.
Within the VR headset's interface, skull-shaped apps starkly depict the relentless push towards digital immersion, pulling us further from genuine human connection and the simple joys of life. With each technological leap, it feels as though we lose a piece of our humanity, distancing ourselves from the essence of real, face-to-face interaction and our ability to navigate the world without constant reliance on technology.
