110: Paper Buddha | Collage, Code, and the Spirit of Tezos Counterculture

Enjoyed our podcast? Shoot us a text and let us know—because great conversations never end at the last word!

We trace Paper Buddha’s path from collage and Buddhist iconography to securing Tezos as a baker, exploring how remix culture, meditation, and code fuse into a global counterculture practice. Along the way, we unpack permanence on-chain, sustainable patronage, and multi-chain strategy that rewards collectors without hype.

• collage as a language for remix culture and East–West fusion
• Detroit grit, Zen practice, and authenticity shaping process
• three-stage workflow: wild sourcing, meditative cutting, intentional sharing
• impermanence versus permanence and why censorship resistance matters
• generative mandalas in P5 and encoding style into algorithms
• Tezos as punk rock: accessibility, global culture, and Turkish freedom mints
• baking as sustainable patronage and income smoothing for artists
• bridging validator and art communities with practical tooling
• multi-chain vaults, pricing equilibrium, and collector rewards
• upcoming drops for Marfa, Halloween, and Miami, feeding back into the baker
