Andrea Bonaceto, Multimedia Artist, Entrepreneur & Creator of AB INFINITE 1 Future of Digital Art

    • Arts

Andrea Bonaceto's journey to the frontiers of digital art hasn't been what you'd call conventional. Trained in Economics and Finance, he found his way into the art world via NFT exchanges, and now produces powerful, thought-provoking and conceptual pieces both alone and in collaboration with other artists. His iconic AB INFINITE 1, a constantly evolving open-access multimedia digital canvas of image, sound, and poetry, curated and crafted by AI, has been recently auctioned at Christie's, marking a fundamental shift in the mainstream perception of digital art in the modern era.
On today's show, Andrea talks about what art means in the modern era, how digital art is helping to transform the way we relate to creativity itself, how to get started in the space (and more importantly, why to get started), and why balance is still the key to building a fulfilling life.
Topics discussed:
How NFTs helped bridge the gap between digital art and the mainstream
AB INFINITE 1, and how new media provides whole new opportunities to be creative
Why it took so long for digital assets to get the recognition they deserve
Differentiating digital art, and why not everything has to be an NFT
Why setting your personal priorities is important when you enter the digital art space
The great digital art debate: just another medium or the frontier of a whole new cryptoverse?
What art means, why it matters, and how context helps keep things relevant
Why a quiet period in the digital art market might make more creative communities, moving away from products and back to pure expression
