Welcome back to Artbit ! In this episode, we’re talking about some cool stuff from the 2025 Korea Blockchain Week, including the Solana Oriental Conference and the Crypto Mass Adoption event that just kicked off.
Tuned in!
The fourth edition of Frieze Seoul has opened its doors at COEX in Gangnam, once again placing Seoul firmly on the map as a rising powerhouse in the global art scene. Running through September 6, the fair features over 120 leading galleries from across Asia and around the world,
offering a vibrant snapshot of today’s artistic voices.
Frieze Seoul continues to run in tandem with Kiaf SEOUL, , creating an ecosystem where global exchange meets strong local roots. Through collaborations with Korean institutions, curated programs, and special projects, this year’s fair continues to bridge boundaries and foster meaningful cultural dialogue.
This year’s highlights include a carefully curated mix of emerging and established artists whose
work engages with material, identity, and urban experience. Among the standout names from
my picks are Yulia Iosilzon, whose intricate mixed-media works reflect psychological
landscapes; Minjung Woo, known for her ethereal, gesture-based abstractions; and Jae Yong
Kim, the beloved donut artist, who returns with his signature glazed ceramic sculptures, rich in
humor, color, and cultural commentary.
Also featured are Minhaee Kim, whose surreal, cyberpunk style reflects 80’s futurism; Tadashi
Kawamata, the renowned Japanese artist whose site-responsive installations often incorporate
reclaimed materials; and Zilla Leutenegger, whose animations and spatial drawings blur the
lines between the real and the imagined.
A major milestone for the fair is the debut of Frieze House Seoul, a new permanent space inaugurated with UnHouse, an exhibition curated by Jae Seok Kim, focusing on queer
perspectives of home and identity—an example of the fair’s evolving commitment to underrepresented voices.
Tune on the tunes for more.
At this year’s WebX in Tokyo, government leaders, tech companies, and crypto experts all came together to talk about the future of money, the internet, and AI. And the
message was clear: Japan isn’t just watching from the sidelines—it’s all in.

Welcome back to Artbit , we're diving into the heart of Tokyo's Sumida Ward—a place that's not only home to the modern hustle and bustle but also to an iconic artist whose influence is felt not just here, but across the globe. We're talking about none other than Katsushika Hokusai, the master of ukiyo-e, whose work has shaped not only the landscape of Japanese art but also the world of manga and modern visual storytelling.
Today, we’re diving into some of the coolest innovations from Computex 2025. One of the most talked-about highlights? The South Korean humanoid robotics startup AeiROBOT and their charming humanoid robot, Alice.
At this year’s NVIDIA Inception Pavilion, AeiROBOT stole the show with Alice, a lovable humanoid robot that wowed the crowd with its interactive demos. Alice can mix cocktails, play
dices, and even engage with attendees.
For those who might not be familiar, NVIDIA Inception is NVIDIA’s global accelerator program dedicated to supporting startups in AI, data science, and high-performance computing. Over 28,000 startups are part of this initiative, enjoying perks like custom SDK support, discounts on NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute courses, and exclusive hardware and software deals.

In this episode, I'll break down the basics of Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20, Inscriptions, and RuneStone
Let’s meet the people behind the new Bitcoin ecosystem.
Casey Rodarmor, Creator, Artist, Developer, and founder of Ordinals and Runes protocol. Domo, the developer who developed the BRC-20 token standard. Leonidas, builder, host, influencer. Leo Caillard, artist, sculptor, and creator of Runestone.
Comparisons with Ordinals and Runes
Ordinals launched on Bitcoin mainnet by developer Casey Rodarmor on January 20, 2023
Ordinals protocol allows for data written directly to each Satoshi, according to the definition on Chainlink, Ordinals are means of creating Bitcoin NFTs by attaching data such as images, videos, and more to an individual Satoshi on the base Bitcoin blockchain.
Runes Protocol launched on April 2024. Both the Ordinals protocol and Runes protocol are developed by Casey Rodarmor. Runes were built for degens and memecoins, but the protocol is simple, efficient, and secure. It is a legitimate competitor to Taproot Assets and RGB. The protocol is self-contained and has no dependencies on ordinals or inscriptions, making it extremely simple. ( Casey Rodarmor )
Runes is a new protocol for fungible tokens on Bitcoin after Ordinals. Think of Runes like US dollars. They're based on UTXO (Unspent transaction outputs), which are akin to pouches in which you can store one or more tokens, much like a kangaroo's pouch or a wallet. Runes protocol is lighting compatible, which means it accelerates the transaction.
Inscriptions, on the other hand, are NFTs ( Non-Fungible Tokens like digital art, trading cards, and collectibles ). Casey Rodarmor describes “Inscriptions” are like diamonds, each diamond with unique characteristics such as color, size, clarity, and cut.
While BRC-20 tokens use the foundational technology behind Bitcoin Ordinals, they're not quite the same thing. Technically speaking, BRC-20 tokens are Ordinals because they're created by inscribing data to individual Satoshi, ( the smallest amount of Bitcoin )
BRC 20 tokens standard was launched by anonymous developer Domo on March 9, 2023. BRC-20 tokens embed JSON data into ordinal inscriptions to enable users to deploy, mint, and transfer tokens.
The first BRC-20 tokens created contained the following JSON data defining the token’s name, a limit of 1,000 tokens per mint, and a maximum number of 21 million tokens:
Leonidas is the builder, marketer, and influencer of Runestone NFTs. On February 20, Leonidas airdropped Runestone NFTs to reward the year one Ordinals community. 112,383 addresses that held 3 non-text inscriptions in their wallet will receive a Runestone, plus a Rune meme token to the Runestone holders, however, the Rune meme tokens have no partnership or add-on value yet, according to the X announcement from The Ordinal.
Leonidas collaborated with the artist, and sculptor, Leo Caillard.
Leo Caillard is the top 20 contemporary artists worldwide according to ArtPrice. His exhibitions at prestigious art shows like Art Basel and Frieze.
Leo Caillard gifted the Runestone creative license to the Ordinals community and released it under the CC0 license, enabling other creators to utilize it freely as a public domain asset to foster and enrich the Ordinals community.

Why Gogh obsesses about Cypresses? The recent show in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first show that focuses on trees and his life during that time.
The Backstory of Vincent Van Gogh's Cypresses: A Mind intwined with Simple and Impetuousness | Absinthe and Hallucination | Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Quotes from Van Gogh
“As for ideas, I have no others except to think that a wheatfield or cypress are well worth the effort of looking at them from close at hand.”
“The cypresses still preoccupy me…
Because it astonishes me that no one
Has yet done them as I see them.
Vincent Van Gogh to his brother Theo Van Gogh, 1889

I met Ted Galante at ICFF + Wanted Design. His Manhattan chair immediately grab my attention, he made multiple layers of maps and made the layers with layers of history. The chair tells the story through its time-captured design. I interviewed Ted Galante, he is a critically recognized American architect. Both his buildings and furniture have been the subject of national and internal design awards and have been published widely in several periodicals and books.
About The Urban Fabric Series
“In response to the question, "Can a chair evoke a sense of place as strongly as a building does?" architect and furniture designer Ted Galante introduces the Urban Fabric Series chair. Galante incorporates maps into the chair's design, drawing inspiration from the layers of the earth's strata. When we sit on these chairs, they embrace us, capturing the essence of history that spans centuries.”

According to recent data from the Department of Labor, 61% of social scientists and 46% of Math occupations are women.
Nevertheless, the fast-increased job opportunities for women are nurses, preschool teachers, and maids. Women are good in Math and science there are not enough opportunities for them.
Artists and content creators are not in any category. Last year, I had a great online panel with other female artists. Women were highly active in STEM since the 18th Century. I learned from established artists. There were many exceptional women in the STEM field.
From the past to present, based on recent data and predictions from the Department of Labor, women’s high-demand occupations are nurses, preschool teachers, and home care workers.
During the early 1990 Great Recession, women in tech had a significant change, more women got jobs in the computer engineering field after 1992. Women recovered the economy during the Great Recession.
Open more tech jobs for women could save the economy.

AI Ethics team developed a model to prevent the potential harm from scammers who may use “Bing creator” to steal well-known artists’ works for sale. Microsoft fired the team, and the members of the team included engineers and philosophers.
According to Elon Musk’s tweet, Microsoft fired its AI safety team.
I think it’s shady when you talk to AI or let the fortune teller tell you your future, it’s a data leak to the third party and you will have no idea how they use your data. As an artist, I already talk to myself all the time, I don’t need to chat with AI and get the answer from something I don’t know.
Opinions on my own. Based on recent news.
