OONA - Powerful, Chaotic, Anonymous Performance Art

In the 11th episode of Season five, we are joined by the mysterious, anonymous, and quite frankly a wee bit unhinged artist OONA. OONA is known for her chaotic and powerful performance based art featuring themes of sexuality, freedom, and absurdity.

We dive into her background before OONA, the birth of OONA, the importance of anonymity, reflections on the intersection of crypto and art, unexpected reactions during her performances, thoughts on AI, ethics and implications of sex robots, her upcoming performance at the NASDAQ and so much more.

We're excited to announce that the rest of Season Five is now powered by Towns! Built on Base and running on River, Towns is a decentralized and permissionless group chat app that allows anyone to create & own digital town squares on their own rules. Available on web and iOS with full end-to-end encryption, users can join or create feature-rich Towns with native on-chain gating, paid memberships and more with tons of exciting features & rewards coming soon. 

We'll also be doing a little collabing with our friends at SHILLR in a joint Town for our communities so make sure to tap in to get access to some Towns exclusive giveaways, rewards and more. Head to https://www.towns.com/ for more.
