GM Iโm Swickie! And all of my work centers on preservation: of art, cultural memory, & the human body. ๐ณ
Iโm a writer and longevity biotech fellow exploring the science of aging, & what it reveals about time, memory, meaning, & you. Iโm launching a new writing series focused on the top innovators in biotech soon & Iโd love to have you along for the wild ride.
In addition, Iโm in grant review for an ovarian aging research project: aggregating & modeling public health data for clinics, research & an accessible tool for underserved women.
Art side: 2x featured R21 artist with the Lakers (their first AR apparel) & upcoming collabs with an American sports league & top film festival. As creative director of a stealth platform, I help connect fans & fandoms to the moments that made them, before they disappear.
If youโre into biotech, art & culture, or the emotional architecture of the blockchain, Iโm quite literally working on how weโre going to be friends, in this timeline, FOREVER ๐๐ค 27 replies

When will NFTs come back?
1. If you believe blue chip NFTs โ Punks, Autoglyphs, Art Blocks, etc.โare similar to art, then you need them to become and remain popular with high status wealthy people who collect art today. Ownership of said NFT needs to serve a signaling value.
2. In 2021, there was some crypto-to-mainstream crossover, e.g. Jay-Z and Steph Curry, but it didn't last (although Jay-Z is still a Punk pfp). And even in that case, celebrities != high status wealthy people who collect art today. The irony is the ConstitutionDAO villainโKen Griffinโis the ideal target for becoming interested in NFTs.
3. So how do you change that? Initiatives like @nodefoundation in fancy places like Palo Alto are a good start. Additionally, any time a major trad museum or auction house does something with NFTs, there's incremental progress.
4. But I suspect the two biggest factors will be: 1) generational change (very slow) and 2) increased screen time with next gen VR / AR (nearer term). 30 replies
