The Hirsch Truth: Episode 6

by Ann Hirsch

In this episode of her video critique series, VH1 reality star Ann Hirsch flips through txt.art, an anthology of crypto art and poetry published by Redlion Studios in collaboration with the Crypto Writers collective. Rhyming stanzas and emo free verse become vessels for reflections on blockchain technology and the culture around it. Ann savors the results, which are by turn metaphysical, funny, and gloriously cringeworthy.
