Cap’s live-from-Miami breakdown centered on Art Basel’s turning point for digital art, with Beeple’s surreal installations, XCopy’s Bubbles drop, and Jack Butcher’s interactive mint illustrating how onchain work finally felt integrated into the broader art world. The crew dug into why this year’s Basel attracted real attention beyond crypto circles and how experiential pieces functioned as “POAP 2.0” with far better onboarding. They explored the reality of event design in Miami, using traffic, timing, and venue choices to explain why some activations thrive while others fall flat. The conversation expanded into whether NFT-only conferences still make sense and why future growth depends on showing up at major cultural events instead. Touching on traditional art’s financial struggles, AI’s impact, and new education tracks, they framed this moment as digital art’s clearest move into the mainstream.
