[Special Interview] Robi C., Founder & CEO of ARK Gallery

On this episode of the MARS podcast, Matthew & Rizzle speak with ARK Gallery founder and CEO Robi C. ARK Gallery made a big splash a couple of months back when they introduced their smart contract that allowed folks to wrap CryptoPunks and turn them into ERC-721 tokens to facilitate easier trading on various NFT marketplaces. But ARK Gallery has designs on becoming a lab that will run many more crypto experiments. Topics discussed include Robi's career as a fine art dealer and gallerist in Asia, his experience selling pre-NFT digital art for $50,000+, the next project that ARK is developing focused on matching buyers of specific NFTs to sellers, and an early conversation on "community ownership." Please enjoy. Lastly, we're really happy to have async.art sponsoring the MARS podcast for the month of November. Cent Post: https://beta.cent.co/matthew/+31viq6
