Felipe Pantone: The Art of Adaptation in a Transient Age
Felipe Pantone emphasizes the need for adaptation in art, stating, “In a world of constant change, the best art is the one that adapts.” His journey began in the streets of Buenos Aires, where he embraced graffiti at just 12 years old. A move to Spain thrust him into a vibrant art scene that fueled his growth as a contemporary artist.
Pantone balances artistic vision with market demands. He believes that understanding art history is essential for meaningful contributions to modern discourse. While he values local narratives, he aims to connect with a global audience, addressing shared experiences in our interconnected world.
His collaborations, like those with Zenith, showcase how art and commerce can coexist. Looking ahead, Pantone advocates for lifelong learning and constant exploration, highlighting the importance of understanding diverse cultures.
As he evolves, Pantone’s work challenges us to engage with our surroundings and adapt to the complexities of modern life.

In the latest episode of the MINDED podcast, Vasjen Katro delves into the evolution of his creative journey, offering insights for those who see the world as their canvas. Known for the Baugasm project and a distinct ability to merge digital art with physical experiences, Vasjen discusses:
- The philosophy behind Baugasm and why daily creation matters, even when the results aren't 'perfect' 🖼️
- Why a classic car can be a form of living art, continuously evolving 🚗
- The potential of AI to push the boundaries of what artists can achieve while maintaining authenticity 🤖
Vasjen’s perspective is an invitation to rethink what it means to live a life devoted to creation. Whether it's pushing pixels, working with your hands, or combining the two, this conversation challenges the conventional and celebrates the experimental.

Disco's Untold Legacy: Rebellion, Empowerment, and Resilience
Did you know that disco's so-called 'death' in the late '70s was marked by a shocking event called Disco Demolition Night? In this infamous 1979 baseball stadium stunt, crates of disco records were literally blown up, symbolizing a backlash fueled by racism, homophobia, and sexism. But as Frank DeCaro explains, attempts to bury disco's spirit were destined to fail.
In this episode of the MINDED podcast, Frank takes us beyond the music, revealing disco as a powerful cultural movement that gave a voice to marginalized communities. With anthems of empowerment and liberation, its influence resonates even today.
And here's a twist you didn't see coming: Did you know comedians, actors, and even Star Trek cast members released disco tracks? Frank shares these untold stories while diving into disco's evolution into house, electronic dance, and today’s pop hits.
