49 分钟No. But now is a good time to sort out the potential from the hype. Whether you’re bullish, bearish, or just confused, we’re here to explain what the blockchain can do for you. (Part 1 of a series.)
My name is Tom Sachs.
I'm a sculptor.
I'm 55 years old.
You may remember Tom Sachs from a recent series we made about the art market.
He had a lot to say about the art market.
Things like this.
It is extremely unregulated and subject to all kinds of monkey business like this.
There's this phrase coined by a friend of mine called LPM lies per minute.
After that series, we kept in touch with Sachs and visited his studio in lower Manhattan.
It is huge, most of it underground, and it feels like a mashup of wood shop, pirate ship and circus.
He has a lot of assistants and collaborators, a lot of workstations and power tools, all sorts of projects being built.
One project in particular caught my eye because it was related to the next podcast series.
We were planning to make this one.
So we invited Sachs up to our studio to talk about his project, and he brought a prop.
So the rocket is nine and one quarter inches tall and about an inch in diameter.
Just to be clear, it's a model rocket.
Some people might call it a toy rocket, but this one is much more than a toy, although it does look like a toy.
The nose cone is about two inches tall.
It's matte gray with a portrait of Brian Griffin, the dog on family Guy.
The body is about five inches.
