Artist Chuck Anderson, also known as NoPattern, in collaboration with Zora presents "Pattern Recognition," a 1-on-1 interview podcast featuring conversations with some of the most creative minds in the world. With almost two decades of experience as a working artist, Chuck offers unique insight into the challenges and opportunities for creators who make and distribute their work online.
The podcast began as "NFT Pirate Radio," a Discord-based interview series hosted by DAO Friends with Benefits. With over 50 shows aired, NFT Pirate Radio featured some of the most influential artists, builders, and thought leaders in web3. The team behind Pirate Radio has come up with a better, more accessible format and a new name; instead of a time-sensitive, gated live Discord interview, they are now pre-recorded, high-fidelity audio interviews that available for all to hear and are also minted on-chain via the ZORA Network.
Topics include starting and running a creative practice, navigating art sales, working with brands and clients, the trials, failures, wins, and stories of professional creative careers, and getting to know the personal stories that led the guests to where they are now, all with a super laid back, unstructured vibe.

Benjamin Edgar is visionary multi-disciplined designer from Chicago and happens to be one of host Chuck Anderson's oldest friends. Having formed seminal early internet blog THE BRILLIANCE! together in 2005 (later joined by Virgil Abloh in 2006), Chuck and Benjamin have a storied history and much to talk about. An overarching point of discussion in this interview focuses around beginnings and the start of an idea. Benjamin has become well known for his wide-ranging object designs including a Carrara marble clothes hanger, his infamous single cigarette holder, candles, incense holders, clothing, sculptor's stools, a stainless steel mug that weighs 2.75 lbs, and much, much more. We discuss all of this and more including a prolific 2023, daily routines & workouts impact on ideas, some dream objects Ben would love to make one day, and Ben shares how he would show Chicago to someone visiting for the first time.
