Genesis Address #1/21 is from my print run earlier this year. It is signed, numbered and ships unframed on high quality, 250 gsm hot press paper with a deckled edge. I collaborated with artist Kim Hui to make the work AR-enabled as well.

About the artwork:

There are two different Genesis Address screen prints - a three and four-lined version . The three-lined prints have four different two-color combinations - blue+gray, orange+cream, maroon+rose and olive+tan. Each is a limited edition of 21. This auction is for the last remaining three-lined olive+tan edition.

Genesis Address harkens back to my roots as a Bitcoin street artist. In 2013, I would scrawl public and private keys around San Francisco hoping passersby would interact with them. This was my rudimentary way of gauging public interest in BTC and whether or not it made sense to pursue as a career. It's also where the name cryptograffiti came from (cryptography + graffiti).

1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa is the most famous of all Bitcoin addresses as it is associated with the genesis block. On January 3rd, 2009 the first 50 bitcoin ever issued were sent to the address, and whether by design or a bug, this subsidy cannot be spent. People still frequently send BTC to the address as a thank you to Satoshi for his creation.
