Welcome to "The Jim Kroft Podcast," where we unravel the symbiosis of entrepreneurship and the arts.
Today, I'm thrilled to present Boris Eldagsen, a pioneering German artist and agitator.
Boris's work has exploded into global recognition this year, particularly after winning and then rejecting the Sony World Photography Award. It thrust his AI-generated images to the forefront of discussions around the topic of AI.
Since then, he's become a figurehead for artists worldwide, gaining ubiquitous coverage from The Guardian to Al Jazeera.
I’ve known Boris for over a decade and have greatly enjoyed seeing his splendidly tall frame towering above the crowd at several of my concerts.
Welcoming him onto the show was a moving moment in our friendship, and to celebrate it, the team went full Joe Rogan on the film production. Please do pop over to my YouTube channel if you'd like to check it out!
In today’s episode, Boris dives deep into:
🤖 The concept of authenticity in the AI Age
🚀 His remarkable journey from underground artist to global acclaim
🏆 The audacious stance he took regarding the Sony Awards
📜 His eclectic philosophy, drawing from Jungian psychology and Eastern mysticism
🤝 The art of building community in the digital economy
Whether you're an artist navigating the AI landscape or working out how to use AI in your business, this episode is for you.
If you’re ready, then let's dive in!
Your host, Jim
