Context S2: Can NFTs disrupt the $100 Billion Dollar Publishing Industry with Sasha Stiles Context: Views on Crypto and Culture

    • Society & Culture

Blake speaks with the visionary artist, poet and AI researcher Sasha Stiles, who was the first artist to sell AI-powered literature at Christies. She has been a true innovator and leader in defining and creating an entire new artistic genre: Literary and Poetry NFTs, as well as well as pushing the limits of how writers and poets incorporate AI into their work.
They chat about the growing and emerging definitions of this new genre and how NFT and AI technologies can be used as tools for writers that open up new possibilities for storytelling, expression and distribution that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There is, of course, art history and literary history sprinkled in.
They wind down by speaking about the publishing industry, which is twice(!!) the size of the global art market, and where it’s at in the process of adopting NFTs and web3 distribution methods.  
If you’re interested in literature, poetry, the publishing industry and/or artistic applications around AI, this one is for you!
