Gami and Clouted are core contributors from International Meme Fund (IMF) and $MONEY. Their team believes it is now crucial to have native liquidity and financial infrastructure for the meme sector.
They're both from Sydney and have shared interests in defi financial engineering, game theory and the memecoin phenomonen.
We talk about financial nihilism. Memes as emergent properties of the internet. Why do some meme assets succeed when the vast majority fail? How do you choose the tokens that go up? (no financial advice). The internet is stranger than you think.

Derek Taylor is a musician and founding member of the park. A band with many of the largest onchain music mints of all time. Based in Los Angeles, originally from San Francisco.
They stage Fridays at the Park, bringing artists together in the room to write and record music. In-person experiences that also help onboard into the onchain and crypto world.
Derek is a coffee enthusiast and raconteur. Owner of the legendary Menotti’s Coffee Stop in Venice Beach. We jumped on the mics to record days before I flew out to FarCon. We co-hosted HIGHER SESSIONS down at Venice Beach skatepark on Saturday morning, with the park, higher and UFO. Trevor aka The Gardener had a mountain of flowers there and was creating bouquets for people passing by and the park was providing coffee.
We talk about the back story of the park, stories of creative collaborations across the world, how best to get started on the onchain scene as a musician, and how things look into the future.

Martin, Six and Kugusha are all early members of higher. A new creative collective with its own native currency, built with a token on Base, publishing on Zora, and accelerating out of sight as one of the all-time fastest growing Farcaster channels.
Higher is a lifestyle, an optimistic mindset, a brand being built in real time by hundreds of people on the internet. The word itself was used in crypto for some time, but the idea that “Higher” could be something bigger was kickstarted by LGHT in March.
LGHT created the arrow logo and the /higher Farcaster channel, after a suggestion from Jacob from Zora that the unicode up arrow (↑) could be the symbol for “higher”. And LGHT then made a few memes in a collection on Zora.
We talk about everyone’s early experiences on Farcaster and views on how it’s developing.
About the origins of higher and what’s emerging so far from this experiment, building a brand together. Zooming out on the possibilities and general sense of fun and play with people on the internet that is something to be a part of.

Observations about counterculture movements. What’s happening on Farcaster and onchain. About collective imagination and the zeitgeist, how that is expressed through culture.

Helping creators to release any type of collection, from tightly curated series to generative open editions.

We decided to record an episode about these ideas, and put the focus on art and trends in the industry, technology, for artists and collectors, galleries and curators. Jumping on the mics right before Nat was heading to the airport to fly out for NFT Paris from California.
We talk about art trends such as the expansion of ‘generative’ as a concept. Games and interactivity having an increasing role in digital art. And how best to create immersive IRL gallery experiences for onchain and digital art.

Alvaro Delgado is a musician, artist, and co-founder of Oval — A newborn creative community from Barcelona.
Starting in 2024, Oval is putting together a series of concert and club nights, community events, suppers, and writing camps — designed to foster cross-pollination among individuals who have come to the city in search of something more: a spotlight, a sense of belonging.
They believe they can build something better, and they want to do it onchain.
The project was introduced with Barcelona Series on Zora. The first token is a text note that outlines their project, and the second is a video for BCN, their entry for the music category of the We Love The Art contest by Optimism.
Oval produced a song, visualizer, and artwork inspired by Barcelona and its people. Fragments of a city that needs to be heard, seen, and felt. The video was assembled from clips sent in from their community in the city, to offer a multi-faceted composition.
In this episode we talk about the inspirations of Oval for creating a space for people to belong. The power of events to build a community and an actual scene where cross-pollination, friendships and collaboration can take form.
We talk a bit about the music industry in a time of shifting technology. About radio and the onchain realms, looking at places like NTS, Catalog Radio and what we’re creating here at UFO.

On today’s show, Alex Guy, aiio and LGHT. We are the hosts of the first shows on the UFO network.
Alex is head of Growth at Zerion and in December launched Still Here. A show to explore his curiosity. Talking with people who are active web3 citizens, through all the ups and downs of crypto, answering the question of what inspires and motivates them. Why they’re still here.
aiio is a researcher, community builder and writer bridging across web3 and the underground electronic music and arts communities in Copenhagen. She writes about the concept of space, linking it to human culture, existence, and the need for adaptive ecosystems. Soon bringing a podcast to UFO!
LGHT is a pseudo anon artist, designer, writer, and technologist based in the Eastern United States. Creator of the Hypercultures essay series as well as co-founding Based Management. His work mainly focuses on protocol design, the science of digital language/memetics, and zero to one acceleration of tech primitives and adoption.
Today we’re announcing LGHT’s upcoming series on UFO — PROTOTYPE
This is a special episode for UFO 50. We started in September 2022, soon after Nick Hollins returned to Byron Bay in Australia after travelling in Europe, where he met Alex and aiio at ETH Barcelona in July.
The first episode was with Charlie Waterhouse, a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion who helped design their art and iconography. From the jump UFO was publishing with the available onchain tools. Publishing on Mirror, establishing a web3 social audience on Lens Protocol, releasing mints. We had the UFO Genesis Pass in November 2022 with over 8000 mints, which helped create an audience and community starting from scratch, which has only grown since then.
In June 2023, UFO was the first podcast to mint on the Zora network as it went live. We publish to an 1155 contract, and you can listen and mint onchain via all your favorite apps.
There’s been 61 guests on UFO, covering arts, music, technology, and culture. Exploring trends in AI, web3 social, onchain media. Many of the most happening projects have dropped into the UFO studios to share stories along the way.
It’s been a place for revolutionary ideas. A show to discover new projects and the people creating them. Revealing the many connections and friendships between people in this space who are collaborating and building things together.
It is a counterculture scene, spread across the world, and happening for the most part online and onchain.
Now that we’re here, next steps for UFO is launching a collective of podcasts. Building towards an onchain radio station and magazine from ufo.fm.
Our approach is a combination of music, arts and ideas. These podcasts we have coming through, including quite a few we’re not announcing yet, will surprise and delight our listeners. We’re still early.
This recording for UFO 50 with Alex, aiio and LGHT was the first time the four of us have all spoken together. We talk about UFO as a collective signal. The vital importance for collective platforms like this to exist. Sharing experiences and imaginings for how we see this going forward into 2024 and beyond.
Thank you for being here. This is UFO 50.
