FF 2.0 launches with a focus on collaboration
In last month’s newsletter, we hinted at a big debut for Feral File, and on July 13 we revealed it: Feral File 2.0, our new model for experiencing and collecting exhibitions (not to mention a totally refreshed look for our website). We’re so excited to finally launch FF 2.0, which marks a return to our core values by doubling down on what makes us unique in the on-chain art space. You can hear more about how we’re doing that in this video featuring Feral File co-founder Casey Reas and Bitmark CEO, Sean Moss-Pultz.

Feral File Retrospective & New Hire Elisabeth Sweet
Last month, Feral File celebrated our second birthday with a two-show Retrospective, FF 1.0 and a2p, and a conversation series showcasing our community of curators and artists. More than 16 artists and 5 curators participated in the series of talks, which was attended by over 1,400 people. If you missed them, don’t worry: the recordings are on our new Feral File YouTube channel. We are delighted to share the On Generative Art discussion hosted in Collaboration with Right Click Save and the Conversation with Curators. The Retrospective also got a great feature in ArtNet and was covered in Kaltblut, Menafn, Crypto Times Register, NFT Evening, and more.
If you noticed a new face moderating our Retrospective series or our new exhibition walkthroughs, it’s Elisabeth Sweet, who joined Bitmark as a Communications Lead in June. Elisabeth brings several years of experience from projects such as theVERSEverse and from her own work as a poet and artist working in the web3 space. You’ll see much more of her leading programming around exhibitions, running our social media, and finding new ways to tell the stories of our exhibitions, artists, and curators.
Experience the opening walkthrough and all the other great Retrospective discussions in our Feral File YouTube channel.

Feral File exhibitions in the news
The Idunnos #25 by Jah
Our June exhibition In/Visible, curated by Linda Dounia Rebeiz, continues to get some amazing coverage: The New York Times included it in an article about Black artists grappling with A.I. bias in their work and interviewed both Linda and In/Visible artist Minne Atairu. Linda also went on the MOCA Live podcast to talk about the show, and In/Visible was not only reviewed in Damn Magazine’s latest issue, it also made the cover, with one of Jah’s Idunnos as the cover star!
