We have long recognized Art on Bitcoin’s foundational role in building a lasting cultural layer, but after @NFCsummit 2026, that conviction has only grown stronger!
As one of the four featured galleries in the Art Factory Grand Hall, we showcased works from our Digital Artist Residency with @BitArt21 and @CyberSeaNFT.
On June 5th we hosted a dedicated Art on Bitcoin evening on the Longevity Stage, where our cofounder and chief curator @Yaraspucia_ spoke about preserving art and culture on Bitcoin. Our founder @SergeSats and @CyberSeaNFT continued the conversation, with CyberSea officially announcing his new “Code is Art” collection.
The enthusiastic response and rich conversations throughout the summit made the experience especially meaningful.
Finally, we want to thank the people who made this experience possible and everyone who engaged with us.
We extend our thanks to @johnkarp, founder of @NFCsummit , for hosting this vibrant gathering and creating a space where art and culture truly took center stage.
To @flakoubay for her outstanding curation of the art program which brought real depth and a collector-led perspective to the summit’s industrial spaces.
To @Richi0118 for the wonderful brunch that brought the community together in such a warm and meaningful way.
And to @RaniJabban for her visionary leadership and long-term commitment to championing digital art at NFC, helping integrate important institutions and giving visibility to artists shaping the dialogue.
Special thanks to @AdamWeitsman for visiting our exhibition and showing such genuine interest in Art on Bitcoin. It meant a great deal to our team and the artists we represent.
We are also deeply grateful to all the collectors and visitors who stopped by, engaged with the work, and shared their enthusiasm for what we are building. We are especially thankful to important figures in the digital art space including @redbeardnft, @basileus_eth, and @musicalnetta for their support and presence.
A big shoutout to key members of the Ordinals and Bitcoin art community, including @elginelginelgin, @LazerErik, @JoeOrdinals, @TheScotchFox, @cl_art_studio, @blockamoto and many others, for representing and amplifying this space so strongly.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, contributed, and helped push the movement forward.
Code Is Art × Bitcoin
Bitcoin has always been an essential part of my artistic practice.
Deus Ex Machina was the first collection to use recursive Bitcoin data as an artistic medium.
Enigma pushed the concept further through time travel mechanics and a more complex visualization of blockchain activity.
Code Is Art is the next step in this journey.
As a homage to my previous works, Bitcoin data directly shapes the piece in real time:
• the number of code lines is connected to Bitcoin transaction count
• movement speed responds to transaction fees
• the speed of evolution is synchronized with block time, collapsing into an energy sphere whenever a block is mined and restarting the cycle
But this is only the beginning.
For Code Is Art, I introduced evolution itself.
Every symbol inside the constellation is inscribed onto a single Satoshi through reinscriptions. The artwork reads all inscriptions of this Satoshi in real time, meaning every new reinscription introduces a new symbol and automatically updates the entire collection.
The result is not static art.
It is a system evolving together with my artistic journey.
Really excited to have just acquired @Nodemonkes Alien #8806 from OG collector @crownjewel369 to show my support to the Ordinals community. Special shout out to @lifofifo and the @ord_net platform, as the buying experience was very smooth for my first time buying a Bitcoin NFT !
My birthday is this Saturday ! Instead of receiving any gifts, I would really just love my amazing friends at @opensea to support all the Bitcoin Ordinal collections and their communities. Would be the best 🎁 ever
Code Is Art is an encapsulation of my artistic journey.
Ideas constantly evolve.
They flow through our minds, shaping how we see, create, and understand the world.
This is what Code Is Art represents.
The symbols within the work act as milestones of my artistic career. You will find references to my previous collections and ideas: the BTC symbol, gears from Deus Ex Machina, the Enigma box, and many others. Nothing here is random. Every element carries personal meaning and reflects an important moment in my evolution as an artist.
But there is something deeper happening beneath the surface.
What if art could represent not only the past and present, but also the future?
On Bitcoin, this becomes possible.
Whenever I release and inscribe a new collection, a new symbol can emerge inside Code Is Art, expanding the visual constellation and embedding new chapters of my journey directly into the work itself.
By combining reinscription and recursion, the collection becomes capable of evolution. New forms, symbols, and relationships can be introduced over time while preserving the integrity and provenance of the original pieces.
This transforms the work into something more than static art.
Code Is Art is a living system.
A continuous performance that evolves together with my artistic practice.
@osf_rekt There will always be a reason to buy crypto until we have this rekt fiat model.
In terms of narratives and products, crypto needs meaning, culture, value and useability. Something beyond speculation and gambling.
Code Is Art.
A new body of work by CyberSea, presented in collaboration with Bitcoin Art Society, exploring Bitcoin as a creative medium.
The project marks a significant milestone in the artist's practice and will be introduced through a highly selective release.
Tomorrow at NFC Lisbon, Bitcoin Art Society will unveil the next chapter of that journey.
If you’re at NFC Lisbon this week, make sure to stop by the Art Factory Grand Hall.
We’re showcasing work from our Digital Artist Residency and bringing Art on Bitcoin into the conversation.

@HollanderAdam "our goal isn't for opensea to simply be the best place to trade NFTs. it's to be the best non-custodial place to trade anything onchain."
except Ordinals because they are actually onchain.
