In this interview episode of Waiting to Be Signed, artist CCDDBB (Claudio Dalla Bernardina) recounts growing up in a small village in Italy, learning BASIC on a VIC-20 and later HTML/JavaScript, studying fine arts/media design in Milan, doing 3D work and photography, producing documentaries, then moving to Thailand to manage a restaurant. He describes how COVID shutdowns and his long involvement with crypto led him to Tezos NFTs, early activity on Hic Et Nunc, and then fx(hash), where he learned generative techniques through community peers. He discusses his evolving approach using “profiles” for meaningful rarity and his ongoing “Plotable Mess” series.Follow Claudio on Twitter @CCDDBBAnd on Instagram @CCDDBB.artCheck out his websites for more information about his work as wellccddbb.vercel.apphttps://www.claudiodallabernardina.com/00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:37 Early Computers and BASIC04:11 Internet and First Web Work06:00 Milan Fine Arts and 3D Studio08:00 Photography and Reportage Lessons09:47 Documentaries and Leaving Italy12:13 Thailand Restaurant Reset13:39 COVID and Crypto Comeback16:40 Discovering NFTs and Hic Et Nunc22:42 AI Side Projects and McFly Persona26:34 fx(hash) Beginnings and First Drop28:29 Generative Techniques and Community30:40 Profiles, Rarity, and Project Craft33:07 Breaking Power Ranges35:07 One Line Obsession36:44 Plotter Projects Stories42:09 Why Not fx(hash)?45:32 Plotting Process And Tools47:34 Curated Release Plans50:59 Bear Market Reflections56:25 Blockchain Pros And Cons01:02:10 Music And 'The Wallet'01:08:41 Final Thanks And GoodbyeThanks to Claudio for taking the time to come on the show!Episode Art: one of many great Plottable Mess outputs by ClaudioIntro and Outro tracks by PixelWank
