Bitcoin doesn´t care (Bulla #4)

First dibs only through my newsletter that goes out tomorrow morning.

Are you signed up?

If not you can do so at the bottom of the home page: www.yonatvaks.com

A few weeks ago, I got a call from one of the big universities in Spain, inviting me to give a lecture about my art.

We had a long talk about contemporary art, AI, and mostly about what Bitcoin art is.

The lecture they wanted turned into three classes about Bitcoin Art and a final project in their contemporary art course, where each student has to learn something about Bitcoin and make a Bitcoin Art work.

I learned psychology and biology in uni and left after being disillusioned by the way ´the cradle of knowledge´ actually worked. So I´m curious about this turn of events and where it will lead.

I´m mostly honored though, that I´m being given the opportunity to teach students at the beginning of their art journey what Bitcoin art is and show them where to enter the rabbit hole.

Let the Renaissance begin🎨💪

This is one of the brushes I use to paint the harpoon.

It's basically a few long hairs.

Spartan warriors:

• unmatched discipline
• physical endurance
• fearlessness

creating one of the most feared and powerful land armies in the ancient world.

Bitcoin Fixes this Bulla # 3 - 'Not your keys, not your coins'

Perfect timing?

Back to minting.

Bulla #4

Block height 962150

´When I found out about he Mesapotamian Bullae, I was immediately intrigued. I´ve been going down the rabbit hole of pre-history and what we can learn from ancient civilizations. What are the things they practiced that have been corrupted since and that maybe we can return to, if we learn enough about them. Humanity has always had its dark sides and its beautiful sides, and to not repeat history, we need to learn from it. Pre-history asks us to go a step further, since there is no written record. We need to be able to go out of our world views of today and try to imagine different ways of thinking.

And that's an exercise I have been enjoying very much.´

💥💥New episode of ´The Movement of Art´💥💥

This conversation was one about advocacy through art.

How to signal the message and open up people´s curiosity about the true nature of governments and why there is a closing window of time to make people reflect on what money really is before cash disappears.

We talk about Nostr and permissionless tools, censorship and surveillance, and art as a signal for future generations.

Join us in this fascinating conversation with two passionate artists that have such an important message to share - illustrator, multidisciplinary creator and engineer

, and woodworker, chef, DJ, and community-builder

100,000 flyers with poems about freedom and liberty were thrown out of a helicopter tonight to celebrate 50 years of freedom from dictatorship.

Poems instead of bombs from a civil war.

There isn't really freedom today either, but it was a nice art performance and gesture.

Bulla #2 - Don't Trust, Verify - has found it's new home today.

Now to make the other six💪 If you want one, DM me!

I piece I've been working on for about 2 months broke.

This series is about transformation and the journey of life, so I'm going with this is where it needed to go and this is it's journey.

So I bought orange and copper pigments and going to repair it with kintsugi.

'Kintsugi goes by a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, transience, and the natural cycle of growth and decay.

The repaired lines are honored as a mark of survival and a testament to the object's journey.

A kintsugi-repaired piece is considered even more valuable and unique than it was before.'

Wish me luck🧡

Is freedom the absence of external constraints or is it also the presence of something?

I used to not be able to keep a cactus alive.

I now grow trees from the seeds of the fruit we eat at home.

You can learn anything you put your mind to. 💪

Me encanta eso. Gracias por participar 🧡🧡

💥New episode of The Movement of Art is out💥

Bitcoin has no visual form, no weight, no smell. You can't hold it or hang it on a wall.

And yet the three artists joining me in this episode have each found a way to help up SEE bitcoin.

How can a cloud and a PCB board represent freedom technology? How does SEEing blocks being created in real time change your perception of the world?

So grab a coffee or a paintbrush, go on a walk or sit and relax - and let these inspiring people tell you about it -

Sometimes I take for granted that I live in a beautiful, inspiring city. I went on a tour last Friday to remind myself.

In the beginning of the 20th century, buildings in Barcelona were built in 'total art' mind set, intentionally.

Every single thing was designed for beauty - from the structure to the door knob to the inside to the design underneath the balcony ( so people walking on the street could enjoy it as well).

The design itself was an act of rebellion, through beauty.

Little by little, with every artist joining the Bitcoin art scene - we"ll bring that back.

Sweat blood and tears only monkeys can endure.

Congratulations to all of you🔥🔥

🚨It's here!🚨

The first episode of

'The Movement of Art'

• a podcast on how art and bitcoin are shaping a new decentralised culture.

Through conversations with artists, builders and thinkers, we uncover how ideas of sovereignty and hope spread through creativity, creating a freer, more conscious world.

💪🏼🧡Join us on the 8th and 21st of each month as we orange pill a billion people through bitcoin art and culture 🧡💪🏼

In the first episode I chat with

) and

Together we speak about the meaning of Bitcoin culture. Does it even exist? Are there norms? Habits? Do you pass a socialization process? Bitcoiners like to see themselves as free thinkers – is that in conflict with this?

Help us spread the world by sharing, liking and subscribing to the channel!
