We thought hard about being a @moxie.eth Hero this week and how we'll celebrate that. 

Introducing Pkok Finterviews - Cast-form farcaster interviews, 20 questions to some of our favorite people.

We aim to tell stories of phenomenal individuals shaping the art ecosystem on web3. It's also a great way for us and other heroes to get to know and engage with them. Oh! each interview starts with /degen love.

But wait, there's more! These Finterviews are not restricted to only those we tag. If you'd like to participate, just respond to the questions and join the party, everybody is invited to be a part of these Finterviews. Tell us more about yourself, read other people's stories and hopefully we all get to know each other better by the end.

Everyone is welcome to our Finterview. If you want to participate, let's start with this one...

What does the term “masterpiece” mean to you?

Hey pkok! Let's go: For me, a masterpiece evokes emotion, whether it's good or bad, and it never goes unnoticed. It doesn't necessarily possess technical precision, but rather embodies feeling, heart, effort, dedication, courage, affection... I believe that a masterpiece cannot be truly recognized as such without standing the test of time. It transcends its era and remains timeless. My 2 cents 😅 😅

Welcome to Pkok Finterview, Off! How would you describe your artistic style to someone unfamiliar with your work?

Thank you, pkok! I'd describe my style as punk, disruptive, and conceptual. My work focuses on exploring errors, glitches, and bugs through code-based glitch art. My pieces follow a philosophical approach, aiming to delve into the imperfections of systems, whether they're natural or artificial.

Thank you so much, pkok!! 

Yes I can... During my Visual Arts degree (2015-2019), I developed a research and a series of etchings exploring our metamorphoses, the difficulties we face when confronting these changes, and how they affect our environment and reality, using Franz Kafka's novel The Metamorphosis as reference. When I started exploring digital art (2021), I continued working on this idea but with a new perspective: thinking of the individual as a “bug” within society. So I developed "The Bug Theory" (2023), which now underpins my current artistic production.

I'm going to leave two links that point to the development of this idea. I think you’ll enjoy reading them.

Can you elaborate on the philosophical approach? This sounds intriguing... And by the way, thanks for being with us 1000 $DEGEN
