Today we inaugurated the first Digital Academy residency, Primavera Digitale, and here are some thoughts after our first session: 

- The diverse cultural backgrounds of the artists will create some incredible conversations that I’m privileged to get the opportunity to hear & participate in. The projects that will be born from these conversations will be breathtaking ⚜️

- 25% of the artists in the residency have never minted a work onchain and we will be educating and onboarding talented new creators to the community. I’m excited to hear their fresh perspectives that are not influenced by the trends in the space and see their explorations as they experiment with new technologies ⚜️

- Perspective: people can have completely different views or ideas even while looking at the same object or thing… It was intellectually exhilarating to see artists talk about things I’ve studied for some time in ways I had never considered before ⚜️

- I’m excited to be working closely with
