When did you start making art?
Wondermundo: I’ve been making art since as long as I can remember. I spent the last 29 years making corporate content and rediscovered art for myself in 2021.
What drove you to Glitch Art?

How has Glitch changed your life?
Wondermundo: First I’d say being embraced by the glitch community has changed my life. Artists are so welcoming and eager to share techniques. Glitch art has also been an avenue for me using my art along healing (from trauma) journey.
When did you first start making NFTs?
Wondermundo: I started making NFTs in 2021.
On gender bias in NFTs & art world…
Wondermundo: In every industry women make less than men and that’s just facts.
They have found their strongest allies in Artists & Glitch Art Communities.
About their Sotheby’s work on Auction >>>
“The open sky above, filled with birds in flight, symbolizes the boundless possibilities and newfound freedom that result from embracing one's own liberation. These soaring creatures mirror the glitchy animation, reinforcing the themes of disruption and transformation that permeate the piece. In acknowledging those still confined within their cages, "Uncaged" extends an invitation to others to embark on their own paths towards emancipation. The juxtaposition of hope and despair within the artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the contrasting experiences that define the human condition” ~ Dawnia Darkstone
