Jake produced the original physical painting whilst listening to the song "Blackstar" - a David Bowie track recorded on his last album in 2016. I own the original artwork - it sits proudly in my home.
We also hear audio of an interview of David Bowie predicting the emergence of the internet back in 1999 before it was a thing. As we now move into Web3 - could Bowie have said the same?

David Bowie, BBC Newsnight, 1999.
“I think the potential of what the Internet is going to do to society, both good and bad, is unimaginable.”
I don’t think we’ve even seen the tip of the iceberg...I think we’re actually on the cusp of something exhilarating and terrifying.
The actual context and state of content are going to be so different to anything we envisage at the moment.
Where the interplay between the user and the provider will be so in simpatico it’s going to crush our ideas of what mediums are all about.”
