Dvdasa - The Complete Archive Official

By 2012, David Choe was the luckiest unlucky man alive. He was a nihilistic, gambling-addicted, sex-obsessed painter who had accidentally become a multi-millionaire. His "dirty style" of street art was famous, but his $200 million stock windfall from Facebook broke his brain. He had no framework for wealth. He tried to give it away, burned money on camera, and retreated into a world of extreme depravity not for shock value, but for feeling .

Several factors drove the show underground, turning the archive into a rare internet artifact:

The Complete Archive of DVDASA is available exclusively via as a DRM-free digital download (all 200+ hours) or as a limited-edition USB drive housed in a replica of Choe’s spray-painted microphone case. Proceeds benefit the Akira Family Foundation (supporting sex worker health initiatives) and the Choe Center for Unmediated Expression —a new grant for artists working outside traditional media.

Who it’s for

The archive documents the weird, pseudo-romantic tension between David and Asa—a relationship that defies labels but remains one of the most compelling friendships in broadcast history. By 2012, David Choe was the luckiest unlucky man alive

Here is the dirty secret of the "complete DVDASA archive." There is no complete archive.

This era establishes the foundational chemistry between David and Asa. It features deep dives into Choe’s hitchhiking journeys, Akira's insights into the adult industry, and the introduction of core crew members. 2. The Golden Era (Episodes 31–80) He had no framework for wealth

To understand the archive, you have to understand David Choe. In 2010, the rogue artist famously accepted Facebook stock instead of cash for murals at their new headquarters—a gamble that turned him into a multi-millionaire overnight. By 2012, Choe was wealthy, restless, and deeply unmoored.

Between 2012 and 2015, DVDASA , hosted by Korean American artist and adult film star turned cultural provocateur Asa Akira , burned like a brilliant, toxic comet. Then, almost overnight, it vanished. Episodes were scrubbed. Links died. The official feed went silent.

The show featured live musical improvisations, featuring talent like Money Mark (Beastie Boys collaborator) and various underground artists.
