Curio Card 21, The Wizard by Robek World

CURIO CARDS / EST. MAY 9, 2017

A SMALL EXPERIMENT. A LONG STORY.

Curio Cards.

In 2017, I co-created Curio Cards with Travis Uhrig and Rhett Creighton: an early experiment in collecting digital art on Ethereum.

Thirty cards. Seven artists. A project that brought art, technology and collecting together—and found a place in digital art history.

04 / ON AIRINDEPENDENT BITCOIN MEDIA

Serious curiosity.
A little madness.

From a man in a hat reading Bitcoin headlines to a network of conversations. Different formats, the same impulse: ask questions and keep talking.

A few different
worlds.
One Thomas.

Photographer. Broadcaster. Filmmaker. Co-creator. Collector.

My work moves between art, technology and culture: photographing street art, helping launch Curio Cards, hosting Bitcoin conversations, re-editing films and making comics.

This is the place where those projects meet. Pick a thread. There’s plenty to explore.
