“So, P1A, tell us, what inspired you to become an artist, and why did you choose the path of creating NFTs?”

• ArbOS V11 proposal has received over 99% voting support, will Arbitrum’s fundamentals undergo a major change?

P1A, with a sparkle in her eyes, revealed, “Ever since I was a wee lass of 15, I knew I desired to be an artist. Life, my friend, is a perpetual dance of givers and takers. And I, with an insatiable hunger for creation, found myself naturally drawn to the world of art. But it is the wondrous realm of crypto and the blockchain’s relentless spirit that continues to fuel my passion! Guided by this ethos, I decided to leap into the NFT universe during the summer of ’21. Crypto art and NFTs allow us to harness the power of digital assets, opening up a new wave of possibilities. It’s like riding the high tides of creativity!”

Intrigued, we couldn’t resist asking, “Could you share your artistic approach when creating an image for this year’s Most Influential?”

Beaming with pride, P1A replied, “Oh, I’m honored to be part of this prestigious event and drop! When I set out to create Refik Anadol’s Study, I wanted to delve deep into his essence. My study, known for its captivating sketches, portrays the journey from an idea to reality. It beautifully mirrors how Refik collects data – almost like creating a reverse card in the game of artistry!”

As we marveled at P1A’s creative process, we inquired, “What aspects of Refik Anadol’s persona did you wish to emphasize, and why?”

With an air of profound admiration, P1A explained, “Anadol is a maestro in crafting experimental and thought-provoking experiences through his data installations. His work builds bridges between our realities, reflecting our shared human experience. Like Anadol, I find myself captivated by the fusion of art and technology. His relentless pursuit of creative boundaries and engagement with contemporary subjects resonates with me. I couldn’t help but draw inspiration from his electrifying works, such as ‘Unsupervised,’ infusing the same linguistic approach into my creation!”

Intrigued by P1A’s perspective, we probed further, “Who, in your opinion, are the most influential NFT artists today?”

P1A, with a twinkle in her eye, responded, “Ah, when the NFT realm sparkles, the names that glitter include Refik Anadol himself, the esteemed Beeple, the remarkable XCopy, and personally, I draw immense inspiration from Dave Krugman. His ability to foster a vibrant community and showcase the beauty of shared growth resonates deeply with me.”

Curiosity burning, we asked, “Which NFT project do you consider the most disruptive in history?”

With an unwavering certainty, P1A exclaimed, “Crypto Punks! From the very moment I discovered them, they seized my heart’s throne. Created by the visionary minds of Matt Hall and John Watkinson, they reigned as the pioneers of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Launched back in 2017, these digital marvels played a pivotal role in popularizing the concept of digital ownership and scarcity. They set the wheels in motion, propelling us into this fantastic journey!”

Finally, we posed one last question to P1A, “Describe your style in three words.”

P1A, pondering the query, responded, “Oh, that’s a tough one! But let’s see… balance, birth, and a splash of red.”

As we concluded our conversation, we couldn’t help but inquire, “Given the rise and fall of the NFT market over the last 18 months, what is your outlook on the future of NFT art?”

P1A, with a mischievous grin, shared her wisdom. “In this era of fast-consumed societies, certain elements emerge time and again, like the infamous hype. And just like NFTs, they stand as solid rocks amidst the shifting waves. The bull market of NFTs had all eyes fixed on our digital domain. And though we experienced some bumpy patches along the way, it simply reminds us of the ancient rule, ‘survival of the fittest.’ It’s fascinating how it applies to diverse disciplines, even within the NFT ecosystem. So, to all those passionate about building this digital art discipline together, worry not! We shall ride this wave with fervor!”
