Description
On this episode, we are honored to speak with artist power couple and new media pioneers Jennifer and Kevin McCoy. Many of you may know Kevin as the artist behind “Quantum,” which many consider to be the first ever NFT. However, you may not know that Jennifer and Kevin have a decades long history as a pioneering artist duo in new media. In our insightful and wide ranging conversation, we'll delve into their meeting, the evolution of their unique artistic practice, and their focus on interactive media, film, performance, and installation—a compelling exploration of personal experience entwined with cutting-edge technology. We also ask the McCoys about their unique perspective and feelings on the dramatic transformation of digital art in the last several years as a direct result of the explosive global interest in NFTs. You should absolutely follow the McCoys on Twitter @JennMcCoySpace and @mccoyspace. You can also learn more about the McCoy’s unique and engaging body of work on their website mccoyspace.com.
