KIM SAY YOU
The Ladies of Collectors War
Why are you passionate about collecting digital art?
I'm passionate about supporting artists and sharing so many individual views of the same world.
What are 3 things you consider when looking for the next work you will add to your collection?
I want to know the person creating the art. I'm not only buying the art, but a piece of the artist.
I am looking for art that creates an emotional connection. Does it make me happy, sad, mad, reminiscent... it needs to move me.
Is the art unique? I don't want the same thing over and over again. Show me a true 1/1.
What is the most interesting thing about the web3 art experience for you?
I never made friends very easily IRL. I love how quickly friendships can grow in web3. I have found so many kindred spirits here, and look forward to attending Twitter Spaces with them, or messaging them. The friendships become family, and that is something I treasure.
Why are you passionate about collecting digital art?
Aside from the daily exposure to beautiful art, which I find therapeutic, I feel the connections made between people in web3 fill a deep and fundamental need in our currently isolated structure of society. What's more, the promise the space holds for artists and builders to make income excites me. I love hearing things like kids in the background on Twitter Spaces. I think in real life we create too much separation between life and work, somewhat out of necessity, and web3 offers people an opportunity to make work something that they love doing while they live their lives.
What are 3 things you consider when looking for the next work you will add to your collection?Connection to the art and the artist are the most powerful motivators for me. I will often find myself immediately connected to a piece just based on its aesthetics, or because it stirs a memory or feeling in me. Sometimes, the story the artist tells about the art or themselves moves me. I love to be surrounded by passionate people. As a collector, I also find technique fascinating so I love to hear about the process.
