The Word
“Every once in a while, an object on this planet possesses mystical properties that transcend its material circumstances.”
Jarrod Rawlins / Museum of Old and New Art
“This thing is going to have a life of its own, like a child.”
“Do people still value music in a digital era?”
“There's not a world in which we don't own this album.”
“There were tears coming through but I held them all back.”
“This was a protest against value being stripped out of music in the digital landscape.”
“Make music become a living piece, like a Mona Lisa or a scepter from Egypt.”
“I thought I'd be dead before it was publicly released.”
“[Wu-Tang is] kind of the OG DAO. They bonded together to form a collective more powerful than any individual on their own.”
“As music, it's good. As art, it's truly great.”
“I don't know another song or album anywhere else in the world that holds that same value.”
“To take these original works of art and figure out a way, in honoring the original vision of the artist, to get it into the hands of the people.”
“Our direction right now is to get this open to the whole world.”
