Each guest interviewed on TMI receives their own custom-made trading card, which when scanned in person gives the scanner an NFT of that card. The resulting network of token holders forms a digital representation of the real-life social architecture the TMI network inhabits. Trading of social currency becomes artform. Collect this card by finding Kevin in person and asking to scan. You can read Kevin's interview here.
TMI is a network art installation: a social graph formed by token ownership, mapping the architecture of contemporary subcultures in New York and beyond. The social graph itself is an abstraction of the actual art pieces—physical trading cards with NFT counterparts, distributed to each guest invited to be interviewed on TMI. When scanned in person, the trading cards dispense an NFT copy of themselves to the scanner. The result—an interconnected mycelial structure, grounded in real life interaction, of the people and relationships driving these scenes—is a work of living network portraiture. Other valid descriptions include the following:
- Interview Magazine meets Pokémon Go meets crypto/NFTs
- Parasocial social club
- Social currency exchange as artform
- Mimetic desire machine
- Newsletter as ruse for social climbing
- Gonzo autoethnography
Collect the cards by finding their namesakes IRL and asking to scan. Read their interviews here.
