CryptoPunks creators: from art experiment to cultural movement
John Watkinson, co-founder of Larva Labs and digital art/software maker, and Matt Hall, technologist-artist behind CryptoPunks, discuss their 10,000-character experiment that became a cultural movement. They talk about on-chain permanence, decentralization as design, how digital identity found value, museums embracing pixel art, and the tradeoffs of immutable smart contracts.
