We're back in 2021! This week we discuss the topic of the moment: NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens (Nifties). With the recent sale of artworks such as Beeple's "Everydays" selling for $69 million, the art world is taking notice of the latest offshoot of cryptocurrencies. We discuss the concepts of reproducibility, ownership and ask what NFTs will mean for the future of digital art.

With many countries in lockdown due to the global pandemic, in this episode we reflect on how much things have changed over the last few months. How will work and education change now that many people are spending so much time on-line? Working at home is now the norm and many people are questioning if we should ever return to the traditional workplace. What is lost or gained when so many aspects of human relationships turn virtual? And how will all this change creative AI research? Join our team as they reflect on a new, post-pandemic world.
