In December 2022, Candice Houtekier, CEO of Art Collision, participated in a podcast hosted by Johnny Android, the founder of Simulation Nation. The podcast was held in Altspace, the leading metaverse for live and virtual events, and focused on the topic of art in the age of AI and virtual reality.

Simulation Nation is a Worldcast that transmits from the Earth iE2 dimension. The show is hosted by Johnny Android and his cyberpunk mod Futurosity in AltspaceVR. They interview leading VR professionals, review VR games and movies, and host otherworldly events— all live from the metaverse. Their mission is to save our dimension from the dystopic fate that befell theirs, and embedded within their episodes are the keys to our survival.

During the podcast, Candice discussed the new advent of AI and its impact on art, the future of NFTs, and how art is experienced in a virtual age. As the founder and operator of the Floating Point Gallery, a meta gallery that lives in virtual reality, Candice has unique insight into the new frontier of art, online marketplaces, and digital publishing models for artists.

She also talked about the role of NFTs and her experience running a gallery in the metaverse. With the new proliferation of AI such as ChatGPT and DALL-E 2, Candice offered valuable insight into the state of digital art and its future.
