A CypherPunk's Manifesto for Digital Art

The cypherpunk movement understood that systems encode values, and values shape culture. Privacy, autonomy, freedom, these were not rhetoric. They were operating principles. Code, the cypherpunks insisted, should serve the people using it, not the institutions watching over them. CypherPunks carries that conviction into digital art. Identity, ownership, and curation as primitives.

This is why there are ten thousand CypherPunks, stored fully onchain, and why the public collection is released through a daily auction over the next twenty seven years. No presale, no allowlist, no discounts.

Art written in code cannot be destroyed. A widely held collection cannot be silenced. CypherPunks create art through code.

We the CypherPunks seek your submissions, your participation, and your voice.

Onward.
