Ep 10 - Geyser has an explosive model for token distribution that changes how projects get started

NFTCast.show is brought to you by Doki Doki where NFT collection is more fun than it probably should be. https://degacha.com

Geyser is a DeFi building blocks project that provides a powerful model to help project founders create algorithmic models that provide value to investors and to the projects they support. This isn't an NFT based project, but it is one that reflects the Doki Doki model of powerful tokenomics making everything work better and Geyser is creating a platform that makes it easy for technical and non-technical founders to create awesome token value.

Our guests today are Claire Silver and Ben Roy from Accelerate Art. These two dynamic people are creating a fantastic way to showcase artists in the MetaVerse and helping them become artists with a presence in the NFT world. 

------

How they met and created Art Accelerate 

Why they created it and what they hope it will do for artists in the NFT space

How Claire became an artist after having a chronic illness

How Claire creates AI based art and what that process involves

Why Ben has an interest and enthusiasm for art. 

Structure of the organization as a non-profit

What they are actually doing and how they are building a vault of art - a permanent gallery of artists

How they might tokenize the art they collect. 

Functioning as a non-profit with other galleries as well. 

The first cohort of their organization, what the artists are like and what they are looking for in artists for their project

We discuss their list of first artists - 

Justin Aversano - a photographer - Miami Punk invasion

Felipo Mugni - a digital artist they found on Instagram doing abstract portrait art with a punk vibe

Bad Munks - Luke Shannon - Generative art

Shivon Wong - Beautiful ethereal 3D feminine portraits

Amerat Paul Sing - Cute pop toy faces - female astronauts recently

Help them take care of the minting. 

Not taking a percentage in the first show

They did an auction to bring these folks up

Interesting building them in cryptovoxels, because of what they have to do to get them used to what happens in cryptovoxels. 

Accessibility is important, because IRL it is difficult to get people to galleries in the real world, but with metaverse, it is much easier for them to experience. 

Working with a gallery in the Bronx for a gallery to let anyone can put up their art and just have it in Cryptovoxels. No submissions or gate keeping. 

They are in the trial process to figure out how they want it to work, but for now doing OpenSea based auctions. 

Artists are minting the pieces themselves now, but may be doing layer 2. 

Get into the details of what they think may happen, but are being smart about how they roll  it out. 

Are going to increase to 8 artists where 4 are thematic for each show/community. 

How they foresee working with artists and what they will provide will really be based upon their needs and where they are at this time. 

Brainstorming ideas for expanding what they do. 

Vision for creating an art district in Cryptovoxels and they are in the right place there to do it - gangnam district. 

Launching a support token

# Interview with Sirsu - https://twitter.com/sirsuhayb

Artist, advocate, leader, and mesch

Philly born and "raised", but he moved around a lot

Parents encouraged art and art career

Pokemon voice acting

MySpace as the foundations for his business career

Every time he found something he loved, they pushed him. 

Why it is important to encourage art and artists

How we all benefit from what Sirsu's parents did to encourage his artistic path

How that became part of his mission to support and grow artists and lead

Digital vs. traditional for his choice

His path to crypto pre NFT

How he lost a lot in a wallet from when he had bitcoin as a kid

His crazy path between art and a crypto hackathon healthcare crypto project and how he ended up in Japan

How Instagram filters introduced him to NFT

How he understood early that art on blockchain equaled creative immortality

Was struck with the idea that decades or more later, that people will discover art

Dove headfirst into NFT at that point with Discord, the web, friends, etc. 

Started recruiting people

Saw gas increasing and realized it would be difficult

How curation is a mess and categorization is so difficult for artists

How old styles of art may not apply to new artists, especially if they didn't go to art school

Concerned that people see it as a bubble rather than where equity, wealth distribution, and inclusion can happen. 

Agrees with me that NFT  is the gateway drug to crypto and he saw that early on

# HeatCheckMe

An effort to create an influencer platform for growing art exposure for artists

How it came about from just asking a community "Can I get a heat check?". He wanted to build consensus around the best things people were creating. Then the whole thing got out of hand with heat related gifs and deep fakes of Sirsu.

Whether black artists are having more success in the NFT space than they get the opportunity for in the traditional art world.
