WTBS is back with another interview episode, this time with fx(hash) legend Rudxane! We've been fans of Rudxane for as long as we have been collecting generative art. In this episode we talk about the humanity of imperfection in art, the virtues of releasing on other chains/platforms (including Bitcoin), long lost collaborations, what to expect in 2023, going "physical", the bear market shakeout + more! Big thanks to Rudxane for coming on the show.

Follow Rudxane on Twitter @rudxane1 and check out his website for info on all his work.

Live from New York it's WTBS! This week was all about getting out of the house and touching grass (or concrete, in our case). NFT NYC landed in Will & Trinity's backyard! Trinity was on a panel, Will got a Live Mint, Zancan proposed to Ozzie, and the pizza was amazing. Hope you enjoy this slightly different episode that recaps our experience participating in 2 days of NFT NYC events. PLUS, Will issues a Correction on the Quarterly Index report. See pictures from the events in the fxtext article!

Another discussion-heavy episode this week. It's impossible to avoid the conversation around creator royalties and what platforms like Blur are doing to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Trinity and Will interview Ed, one of the founding members of the KRPDM (Carpe Diem). KRPDM is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization [DAO] that collects NFTs from all corners of the Tezos eco-system. From the outset they've had a clear directive to collect gen-art, and see fx(hash) as cultural epicenter for long form gen-art on Tezos.

In this episode we discuss the logistics of collecting as an organization, optimism about the Tezos blockchain, the DAO's bullishness despite the impending bear market, and of course, THE ART.
