CURAT3D: Eli Scheinman - Weaving Technology with Art, the Craft of Storytelling, and Curation
Description
This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Eli Scheinman, Head of Art at Proof, where we discussed the delicate dance of storytelling in the art world and its impact on the era of digital art collecting . Storytelling is more than just a buzzword; it's a craft that injects life into artwork, creating a bond between creator and collector, and Eli does it with a combination of integrity and strategy, adding necessary dimensions to powerful stories.
Navigating the crypto art scene can be akin to charting unknown waters, where the currents of market speculation and the depths of an art's narrative must be balanced. We peel back the layers of this journey, examining the challenge of safeguarding an artwork's essence amidst shifting market dynamics, and highlight the lack of useful tools to tell multi-dimensional stories.
Eli's path to curation is incredible, starting with a foundation in contemporary history and political ecology to a chance encounter with Kevin Rose and starting multiple companies together. This experience carved out the niche for Proof Collective and initiatives like Grails. We bring the conversation home by underscoring the importance of quality and intent in our endeavors, spotlighting the nuanced and purposeful approaches that define our work in marrying technology with art, fostering human connections in the dynamic Web3 space.
