Here is my conversation with Simon de la Rouviere.
Simon’s exploration of creative mechanism design through the years is documented on his blog. His contributions to the space range from seeding the idea of bonding curves and curation markets, to building one of the first creator platforms with Ujo, to writing a full length novel experimenting with different publishing models, to now working on bottom-up storytelling with Untitled Frontier.
In this conversation, we talked about cc0, designing NFT economies to welcome derivative works, bottom-up storytelling, and much more.
