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. Pkok Finterviews, a 🧵

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?

A masterpiece is an old fashioned art term for a work completed by an artist at the top of their game. Or perhaps an artist who is now dead so suddenly ALL their works are deemed masterpieces to inflate their value... Is it possible for a living artist to produce a masterpiece? I am not sure. I reckon Damien Hirst thinks his Shark in Formaldehyde is one, or his Jewel Skull. Somehow I don't think Tracy Emin regards her tent as one. I think some of the definition of a "living masterpiece" rests on how big the artist's ego is. I reality I think a masterpiece is a piece of work that transcends its own time and resonates with future generations of viewers. May I suggest that any of Monet's Water Lilies could be considered masterpieces for this reason? How about Picasso's Guernica, Goya's The Third of May, Rothko's Black on Maroon? God, I sound like an art teacher...

I work very quickly with a piece of generative software called Noisedeck to create animated gifs that use various layered visual generators to produce complex looping abstract imagery. I hope to produce the kind of image one may get when falling asleep or waking up. I am currently obsessed with creating The Perfect Loop where the eye doesn't notice the join. My images are most certainly influenced by the pixel artists, lo-fi glitch-makers and proper generative coders out there on the NFT web but I hope to have created something of my own groove within these genres, somewhere between these Three Pillars of NFT Wisdom. I also rather love the simplicity and bluntly abstract visual imagery of the very famous Mark Rothko. Specific NFT artists who have influenced me, in no particular order are @nbswwit @daturascore.eth @gogolitus @thisisgonz @stc @winterbloed @chepertom ... continues

You are very kind. I have always nurtured an obsession to somehow reproduce the fluid motion you got on this piece below that I collected a while back. I am getting there slowly I think... (no coding) https://objkt.com/tokens/hicetnunc/850891 PULSE
