We have officially entered the longest bear market that crypto has ever experienced. (the bear market between 2015 and 2016 lasted 386 days, the bear market between 2018-19 lasted 204 days, whereas we are currently 500+ days into the bear).Many people have left the space, those who stayed may not be all very optimistic about the market. That’s why, this week, we invited some crypto OGs (OSF, ROBNESS & MISSALSIMPSON) to discuss how they got through the last crypto winter, and how they are doing this time. Art That Fucks: The Blink of an Eye by Kako

There is a lot of talk about the future these days.The bear has stolen our picnic basket of opportunity and the market has dried up. This has a lot of people asking the question: Is it over for NFTs? If not, well then what happens next? Will we see another 2021?This week's live discussion with Ben, Luke and Emma covers the topic and invites audience members to ponder the question.Art That Fucks: Deep Dream by Joy Jo

Whenever people ask what we do for a living, we still have to sus out the person asking the question before choosing an appropriate answer.Since 2021, NFT seems to be a word that’s been frowned upon by the general public, people tend to have very strong views about NFTs even if they have never purchased or transacted NFTs themselves. This week we discussed: How do we get people to stop hating NFTs?Art That Fucks: Morning in the forest by @subwwaym 

This week Luke, Oli and Emma went out to the audience to discuss an important conversation given the rebranding of X, formerly known as Twitter, and it's effectiveness as a platform for artists in the Web3 space.Art that Fucks: Interlude by Bárbara Carvalho

During the last bull market, anything seemed possible - whether you were a newcomer lured in by the promises of PFP summer or a crypto veteran who let your guard down amid all the growth and hype, you’d be hard pressed to find someone in web3 who doesn’t have their fair share of paper hands moments to look back on.This week, Luke and Oli were commiserating over some of our biggest blockchain busts with the audience.. Hopefully, we’re at a point where we can all just laugh about it.Art that Fucks: Unfurling Apparition With Broken Glass by davidhenrynobodyjr

This week on SuperRare Sessions, we discussed the legal implications of creating using AI.It’s no secret that AI has received a lot of bad press. Artists who work with AI have unfairly been labeled as lazy and untalented by people who accuse them of art theft, people who have largely been misled by clickbaity headlines and commentators who care more about likes and shares than reporting accurate information. We’re not interested in adding fuel to the misinformation fire. Instead, it’s important for the future–to discuss the reality of AI art, its legal implications, and possible solutions, both on and off chain.We we’re lucky enough to be joined by Kyle Smith, Stephen Kelly, and Elizabeth Rothman from LexDAO, a decentralized legal guild whose members are dedicated to shaping the next generation of law.Art That Fucks: "Tasty Water” by Takayoshi Ueda

This week on SuperRare Sessions, Ben, Oli and Luke are joined by Anna Ridler, Ivona Tau, and Derrick Schultz who have been using GANs long before the advent of Generative AI. First, we get under the hood of GANs and learn more about them and how they are built, before we dive into our guests practice and relationship with GANs, touching on some of the questions around ownership, and ethics.Art that Fucks:Wonderful Time by BombadilMeteor Flower by thisisjaaason Crystal Metamorphosis by NOEASY 

This week, Luke & Oli are discussing how we find ourselves here, in a reality where technology and art are more intertwined than ever and challenging what we think of art, what we think of original art, and the way to make it.They are joined by artists Danielle King & Santiago to discuss AI-generated art challenges traditional conceptions of creativity and authorship and questions such as who or what can be considered an artist.Art That FucksAlice in Digital Land by Saeko EharaMIND BLOWING by Caramurú Baumgartnerlast night on earth by Blank Embrace
