\n\t Connecting the Dots: Collectivism and Collaboration in the Crypto Art World<\/a>\n\t <\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

In the beginning, there was a statement.<\/p>\n

Embedded in the Genesis block of the Bitcoin blockchain, a message.<\/p>\n

The Times 03\/Jan\/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

If art is a statement, Satoshi Nakamoto was the first blockchain artist. (Or collective?)<\/p>\n

A block named ‘Genesis’. A gap of six days before the second block. A community that reveres Satoshi with almost religious devotion.<\/p>\n

Nakamoto’s intention to announce the Second Coming of money may be inferred, but there can be no objective truth to their statement. It may be a timestamp. The six days may be a coincidence. The fervor around Bitcoin may yet prove to be misplaced.<\/p>\n

The subjectivity of the viewer dictates the meaning of the artist in their absence.<\/p>\n

The world’s first blockchain artwork remains memorialized in a hardcoded block that may, as we will explore later this week, be the first piece of truly permanent human artistic expression.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the artists who have adopted blockchain and the crypto revolution, we’ll explore the intersection of the technology and the state of the art in this week-long series of features, culminating in an invitation to visit a curated virtual exhibition featuring artists from around the globe.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
