Pak is a unique and sophisticated creator and one of the leading figures in the design industry. He is the founder of Undream and the creator of archilect. Recently, every encrypted art work released by Pak has aroused great repercussions in the industry, and has more contacts with well-known institutions and people such as Sotheby's and Elon Musk.

"Who is Pak?" - Pak is anonymous, so apart from his profile on Twitter Besides, we will never know the rest of his information. Today, I interviewed Pak and chatted with him about his views on encrypted art.

Pak: Design is hacking

Stairway to a Lost Kingdom

"Da Vinci's Vision"

Loopify: When you started working in digital art, did you have a long-term goal for the future?

Pak:I never put myself Defined not as an artist, but as a creator. Most of my works have design and designer thinking - I will think about a theme and the connotation of the work before starting to create.

Whether it is long-term or short-term, I hope to leave my mark in this field in various forms.

Loopify: When did you get in touch with crypto art?

Pak: At my first A few days before the release of the work.

Loopify: How much do you think crypto art will develop in the next few years?

Pak: I think in the next few days In 2010, we were still exploring on the surface. I think that many works in encrypted art NFT will be sold at sky-high prices, but what I expect is that NFT can be functional, practical and connotative. An artistic NFT may set a record for the highest turnover in history, but what I would like to see is that a larger part of the NFT trading volume is trading NFTs with connotations.

More advances in functionality, utility and value creation will lead to more interesting developments, I think This will not appear on a single NFT, it will be a contract-level innovation, or even an artistic innovation.

Loopify: You have done a lot of social experiments through the release of your works. "The Title" is your latest work. What is the connotation behind it? ?

Pak: Social experimentation is different from creativity . Instead of starting with a blank canvas and seeing where it goes, I pre-define my expectations and try to design a path that will achieve the purpose and convey the message. So experiments are not technical or creative, but social.

Of course, if I say those works have connotations, then they must be meaningful.

Loopify: What attracts you in terms of technology in crypto art?

Pak: Authentication!

Loopify: Archillect is a well-known algorithmic art platform, even Elon Musk and others know it well, have you ever wondered Ever relate it to crypto art?

Pak: I have one under development I will use my influence in various channels (Archillect is one of them) to promote NFT to the public. It's not as simple as it seems. Nowadays, promoting an NFT to the masses is bound to bring more traffic to some platforms, which I don't want.

Shortly isolate NFT and its creators from the platform, and let creators and The work becomes the focus of public attention, which is what I want to do.

Loopify: With the continuous development of encrypted art, there will be more and more obstacles, and it may be difficult for artists to enter this field in the future. Do you think platforms can change that and why?

Pak:The platform will have its own Incentives. Sure, they could change a lot, but would they be more willing to do so? They could be more inclined to put "art" in the spotlight, but then again, who's to judge which "art" deserves more attention? developer? I think this is one of the problems with the "crypto art industry" today.

Loopify: What are the problems in the current encrypted art industry?

Pak:Art is definitely not a very Easy, freewheeling things. It is very strict, but also very fragile. Every other field has many experts in that field, but art has very few.

It is easy to judge the value of something by numbers without proper valuation. When there is a lack of experts in this entirely new field that claims to be part of the broader field of "art," the void is filled by traders, coin flippers, investors, etc. This allows a crypto investor with a high follower count to freely talk about what is the "most valuable piece of art" because they have previously bought that creator's work. In the end, "art" will become an ignorant abstract label, an offshoot of luxury entertainment and short-term value, nothing more than a bubble.

Remember, people recognize Picasso not because of the price of his work, but because of the purpose in his work , innovation, struggle, implication and characteristics.

Loopify: Would you like to say something to the collectors of your future works?

Pak: Hello!

Loopify: Do you have any advice for artists who admire you?
