Three European artists exhibited at Bitcoin Amsterdam to present works exploring money, finance, and bitcoin. ZETRA, a German graffiti artist who discovered bitcoin in 2017, created the TOMATOSOUP series (reworking Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans) and THE BIP39 SERIES (representing the 2,048 words used in bitcoin wallet recovery phrases). RYR shreds banknotes into paper and ash pigment to create his works, including concrete grenades filled with shredded cash. Martin Fischer, a member of Czech collective Ztohoven, founded Paralelní Polis in Prague in 2014, a hackerspace whose café accepted only bitcoin. The three artists question bitcoin’s evolution from an anti-establishment movement to an increasingly institutionalized financial asset.
