That's Trippy, Man

Digital Artist and Curator Trippy Shares His Thoughts on the Future of NFTs

- Aron Vaughan

With the crypto market down significantly this year, what does the emergent Web3 digital art creative movement have in store for 2023? Is the focus on generative AI art, or perhaps there's another facet of the NFT industry that is being built out now?

To answer these and related questions, including what became of Miami's Art Basel event, we connected with one of the foremost pseudonymous digital creators of the Web3 world - Trippy.

The curator behind Ross Ulbricht's Genesis NFT Collection and Pussy Riot's collections, as well as other collaborations that have included Alex Grey, Snoop Dogg, Lewis Hamilton, and Grimes, Trippy is also the lead organizer of Beyond Basela Web3 creator event held in Miami.

Beyond Basel featured thousands of guests including artists and other digital creatives that focused on bringing together artists and performers from around the world to build relationships and showcase cutting-edge, technology-driven exhibitions and other creative projects.

Trippy has first-hand experience and a unique perspective on what's next for the industry despite what the market might say.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Innovation & Tech Today: What do you predict will be the direction and future of NFTs over the next year?

Trippy: I think there'll be more need for curation to go back to Art Blocks, for example, in generative art.
