CYPHERDUDE #1686

Collection

CypherDudes

Description

Cypherdudes is a generative cryptoart series paying tribute to the Cypherpunk movement, which has been campaigning for the protection of privacy on the internet since the early 90s, and was behind the creation of bitcoin in 2008.This series takes up the graphic universe of a character that I invented and gained some popularity in the crypto art scene : the cryptodude.A personification of crypto culture, the Cypherdude performs actions that visually translate the expressions and behaviors specific to this ecosystem.Each work in the series is unique and generated from an algorithm hosted directly on the blockchain. The parameters composing each work are selected from a wide range of elements created individually by myself and combined in a seeded random way. Each seed is determined by the blockchain on mint.The work and the Message.Each owner of a work from the series has access to a hidden feature : the ability to inscribe an encrypted message in the work itself. The encryption key is decided by the owner on every inscription. This message can then only be decoded by a recipient knowing the key. This way, the work becomes a veritable tool at the service of its owner, who, by using it, makes it evolve visually using a simple steganographic technique.The Cypherdudes thus becomes the visual witness to the presence of a message, and its digital security vault.
