The story behind the founding of Tonic and the early days of the company
How Tonic works to cross over new collectors to the space & what the major challenges are in educating collectors around NFTs
The challenges & process of coming up with novel print options for Tonic and what kind of engagement they are seeing on these offerings
How Tonic identifies & pitches artists that they want to work with and what that process is like from start to release
Will NFT art markets start to become more like traditional markets?
The tension between market forces and algorithmic potential, and why it can be good to constrain the number of outputs for a release
