NFT ENERGY INTERVIEW

Alsoguppyme (Singapore)

2024.2. 24
1. Tell me about something you liked as a child.

 As a child, I was captivated by Lego, constructing my own miniature worlds, and by the ever-changing shapes of clouds, always imagining different objects or stories in the sky. Warning, the latter can be momentarily blinding.


2. Who is your favorite writer? (Art, books, games, etc.)

 Neil Gaiman. His ability to weave intricate narratives in both books and comics is inspiring.


3. What was your personal motivation to work on art?

 For me, creating art is both a meditative journey and a means of self-discovery. I use imagery to understand and express myself, much like a writer uses words.


4. What is the important part you would like to talk about through art work?

My art often explores the theme of awkwardness, the subtle unease and discomfort we sometimes feel, serving as a common thread through my work.   

5. Tell us about your worldview to understand your work, and what methodology do you
use to capture it in your art?

My worldview is shaped by a pervasive sense of not belonging, from my country of origin to my current residence. This feeling of displacement, along with my fears and desires, deeply influences my art, aiming to find beauty in the midst of it.
6. Your work reflects our inner fears and desires. In Then, you seem to be metaphorizing an emerging technology, AI. Can you talk about your thoughts on AI?

 AI represents a frontier of endless possibilities for me, as cliched as it may sound, offering a space where I can express myself rapidly and explore new realms of creativity. Sometimes, I wonder if speed is a detriment. We produce work faster than we can emotionally process them.


7. Why did you start NFT ART?  

 Venturing into NFT art wasn't a premeditated decision. It was an opportunity that presented itself, with the hopes that it will become a sustainable way for me to dedicate my time to what I love doing most—creating.


8. What is the most memorable moment while doing NFT ART?  

The auction of my first NFT piece on DailyXYZ is a moment I'll never forget.


9. What do you think about the risk of hacking while working on NFT art, and what measures can be taken to prevent it?

 The risk of hacking hasn't been a major concern for me, perhaps naively so. It's a reminder that as we embrace new technologies, we must also consider and address their vulnerabilities. Besides, who would want to hack my work.


10. What do you think is the role of an artist today?
 
The role of an artist remains unchanged— to challenge perspectives and encourage dialogue. In today's digital age, this involves exploring new mediums and developing a new visual language to connect with our evolving world.
