AND YET THE ONLY WAY THAT
PEOPLE CAN IT
VARIANCES STARTERS, I'M LIKE A
SIMPLE TO THE WEB PAGE OR
SOMETHING THAT KIND OF LOOKS
LIKE AMAZON AND SO THEY WERE

SPECIAL ENABLES RIGHT. IT'S THE
SUPER ACCESSIBLE SUPER
IMMERSIVE WAY TO EXPERIENCE THE
ART THAT PEOPLE ARE YOU KNOW OR

AND TEARS.

REALLY EXCITED WE A LOT OF THIS
GOT STARTED WHEN WE START TO
PARTNER UP WITH OPEN SEA AND
OBVIOUSLY THEY
ARE LIKE THE GOAT YOU
MARKETPLACE IN TERMS OF HOSTING
AND MENTORING AND SELLING YOUR
AND TO
YOU SO WORKING WITH OPEN SEA IS
KIND OF LIKE WORKING WITH THE
BIGGEST AND THE BEST ARE REALLY
EXCITED THAT WE ALSO HAVE AN
AMAZING EXHIBITION COMING UP IN

INCREDIBLE ARTISTS
SUPER CHIEF. YOU KNOW A NETWORK
OF GLOBAL GALLERY IS ACTUALLY

IT'S OFFICIAL CHRIS TO CAM YOU
MIGHT REMEMBER I THINK IT WAS
ON CHEDDAR SHE SOLD THE MARS
HOUSE BURN NEARLY HALF A
MILLION
FULL VIRTUAL HOUSE SHE DESIGNED
AS AN NFT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
ABLE TO EXPERIENCE AT THE FIRST
TIME LIVE WITHIN SPECIAL
AMONGST OTHER WONDERFUL ARTISTS
LIKE ARLEN PERES CENTER 8
O'CLOCK SO PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN FLOCKING FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS BE
REALLY SEEM TO STUMBLED ON TO A
REAL PAIN POINT IN
THE INDUSTRY.
>> YEAH, OF COURSE THEY
REMEMBER THE MARS HOME, I ALSO
SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN OPEN
SEA, SO THIS IS THIS
IS AMAZING. CAN YOU TALK TO US
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
TECHNOLOGY FOR THIS AT JACOB
ARE USING ARTIFICIAL IN TELE
JIN'S TO CREATE THESE AVATARS
AND OF COURSE THESE GALLERIES.
>> ABSOLUTELY SO THAT'S RIGHT
YOU'RE VERY PERCEPTIVE SO ON
THE AVATAR SIDE WE USE MACHINE
LEARNING SO YOU DO IS YOU TAKE
A SELFIE AND THEN WE USE
MACHINE LEARNING TO TAKE THAT
SELFIE AND TURN IT INTO A FULLY
REALISTIC 3 D VERSION OF
YOURSELF. SO THAT'S HOW THE
PRESIDENT COMES ABOUT
AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE IN
TERMS OF THE EXPERIENCES.
I MEAN WE USE UNITY SO ANOTHER
COMPANY I'M SURE THAT'S BEEN
MENTIONED A LOT
OF TIMES WE STARTED OFF AS IF
YOU OUR COMPANY, BUT THE
WEB THIS OF OUR WAY OF OPENING
UP THIS TECHNOLOGY TO THE WORLD
AND ESSENTIALLY SPECIAL WORKS
LIKE THIS ALMOST LIKE A LITTLE
VIDEO GAME. SO YOU HAVE
YOURSELF THIS VIRTUAL VERSION
OF YOU AND THE EXPERIENCE AND
USING THE UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY
IS LIKE VOICE OVER IP AND JUST
NETWORK INTERACTIONS. WE CAN
ENABLE PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE
THEY'RE REALLY THERE IN THE
ROOM TOGETHER.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON
THE RISE OF NF T'S JUST A FAT
ARE HERE TO STAGE A CUP.
>> I THINK IT'S HERE TO STAY I
CAN'T YOU KNOW SAY THAT THE
PRICES FALL FLUCTUATE BUT I DO
THINK
COLLECTIBLES AND ART HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN KILLERS OF OUR
CULTURE RIGHT LIKE PEOPLE WANT
TO EXPRESS THEIR IDENTITY
PEOPLE WANT TO INVEST IN
PARTICULAR INTERESTING ASSET
CLASSES AND AND IF THESE ARE
JUST THE DECENTRALIZATION OF
THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ENABLE
THESE TRENDS SO IF YOU BELIEVE
IN OUR
BELIEVING COLLECTIBLES YOU
BELIEVE IN AN FT IS IT'S
JUST A MORE SECURE MORE
TRUSTWORTHY WAY TO ENABLE IT SO
HERE'S A PICTURE.
>> I'VE SAID THIS REPEATEDLY I
HAVE SERIOUS FOMO WHEN IT COMES
TO NFT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT
TO DO BUT HAVE SERIOUS FOMO
WHEN IT COMES TO IT SO WHAT DO
YOU PREDICT FOR THE FUTURE OF
NFC SPACE TO SEE MORE COMPANIES
CREATING INNOVATIONS LIKE THESE
VIRTUAL NFT GALLERIES THAT
YOU'RE SHOWING US.
>> YEAH, I MEAN WE'RE BIG
BELIEVERS IN WHAT SOME PEOPLE
CALL THIS LIKE METAVERSE THE
SUBSTRATE WHICH IS I THINK THAT
LIKE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR
MORE AND
MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPRESS
THEMSELVES AND EXPERIENCE
SOCIAL EXPERIENCES
IN HER VIRTUAL WORLD AND I
THINK NF THE NFT TECHNOLOGIES
JUST ALLOW YOU JUST
SORT OF CREATE UNIQUE RARE
THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN COLLECT
AND USE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES
NOT JUST IN THE REAL ONE, BUT
IN THE DIGITAL WORLD
AS WELL, SO IF YOU BELIEVE THAT
LIKE SUPREMES SNEAKERS ARE IN
THE SUPREME ANYTHING IS GOING
TO CONTINUE TO
BE POPULAR. THEN I THINK WE'RE
GOING TO SEE IS PEOPLE BUYING
CLOTHING DIGITALLY THAT THEY
USED TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND
BOUGHT UP THEIR AVATARS YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE PEOPLE BUYING REAL
ESTATE VIRTUALLY THAT USED TO
HANG OUT THEIR FRIENDS THAT YOU
KNOW THAT EXISTED
SPECIAL LOCATIONS SO IN SOME
WEIRD WAYS IT'S GOING TO MIRROR
THINGS THAT HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED
IN THERE
REAL WORLD, I THINK JUST
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORE
ATTENTION TO IT AND THE DIGITAL
CONTEXT THEY'RE GOING TO INVEST
MORE IN THE DIGITAL VERSIONS OF
THOSE GOODS AND IT'S GOING TO
BE REALLY EXCITING TO SEE.
>> I HAVE LESS THAN A MINUTE
SHAKEUP I WANT TO ASK YOU WE'VE
ALL ADJUSTED TO WORKING
REMOTELY PEOPLE ARE JOINING
CLUBHOUSE OR EVEN LOOKING AT
APARTMENTS VIRTUALLY YOU
CREATED 3 D GALLERIES
HOW IS THE BUSINESS CHANGED FOR
YOU OVER THE LAST YEAR AND WHAT
TRENDS DO YOU THINK ARE HERE TO
STAY IN A POST-PANDEMIC WORLD.
>> AND THAT IS LIKE THE
ULTIMATE QUESTION I THINK COVID
PROVIDED A HUGE TAILWIND TO
WHAT WE DO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
FEELING VERY ISOLATED AND THEY
WANTED TO DO MORE THINGS
TOGETHER YET VIRTUALLY THAT
THEY COULDN'T DO IN PERSON.
NOW YOU KNOW WITH THAT
THE NATION'S AND THINGS OF
RETURNING A BIT TO NORMAL.
THE QUESTION IS WILL THINGS
JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY
THEY WERE AND OUR OBSERVATION
IS CERTAINLY NOT RIGHT SO ONE
TREND IS WE'RE ENTERING MORE OF
THIS HYBRID WORLD.
>> WHERE PEOPLE WILL DO THINGS
LIKE SPEND SOME TIME WORKING
FROM HOME INSTEAD OF GOING
COMPLETELY INTO THE OFFICE.
BUT I THINK THE OTHER TREND IS
THAT I THINK PEOPLE ARE
EXPERIENCING A REAL REWARDING
THE RICH TURN ON ON HOW THEY'RE
EXPRESSING THEMSELVES DIGITALLY
SO I THINK THAT THE METAVERSE
IS HERE TO STAY SO, YES PEOPLE
WILL GO TO REAL WORLD CONCERTS
PARENTS SEE MORE AND MORE
THINGS LIKE
TRAVIS SCOTT. YOU KNOW
PERFORMING AND FORTNITE LIKE I
THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY EXCITED
BY OR SOCIAL VIRTUAL
EXPERIENCES LIKE THAT AND I
THAT CREATOR ECONOMY DOES
TELLING WITH ALL THIS JUST
MEANS THERE'S GOING
TO BE COMPOUND BACK TO THE SAME
WAY YOU SEE PEOPLE SUPPORTING
CREATORS ON PLATFORMS LIKE A
TREE ON AND WHITE PEOPLE FOR
CREATING THINGS
LIKE PODCAST. YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE PEOPLE SUPPORTING DIGITAL
FASHION DESIGNERS IN DIGITAL
WORLD CREATORS AND AT T ARTISTS
AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE A
CONVERGENCE AT ALL THESE TRENDS
THAT REALLY EXPLODED DURING
COVID I THINK WE'RE STILL GOING
TO PERSIST BECAUSE PEOPLE
