gm and welcome to issue 12. Thanks for being here. 🫨
You know what the world needs? Another podcast. No but fr, as Still Downloading evolves, these conversations are just too rich to capture in text alone. Which means audiovisual escapades in a digestible 30-min or less format are where we’re landing.
Consider it the opposite of Joe Rogan's approach: no three-hour marathons, just concentrated doses of creative insight from people navigating the frontiers of tech, art, web3, and beyond.
This week's chat with Veronika Pell is exactly that kind of brain candy. Let’s get into it.

Still Downloading, a Podcast: In Convo With AI Artist Veronika Pell
Below you’ll find a visual feast from this week's podcast guest, Helsinki-base Veronika Pell (Mindeye). Her work sits at that fascinating intersection of human imagination and AI interpretation, creating digital dreamscapes that feel both otherworldly and strangely familiar. I fucking love it.
For the full 30-min interview, head here.
What makes Veronika's art stand out isn't just technical skill—it's her approach to AI as a collaborative partner rather than a magic "make art" button. Her signature style blends ethereal textures with structural elements, incorporating deliberate imperfections that maintain the human touch.

Her recent short film (How to Poison Art: a Step-by-Step Guide) for Runway's GEN:48 competition showcases her distinctive approach to AI artistry, where she "weaves dreamlike, fairy-tale narratives that fluctuate between dark and divine elements," often blending the two in a playful manner. What she calls "growing imagery," her work explores the contrasts between natural and artificial, creating visuals that feel both ethereal and purposeful.

Until next week, nerds.
