Cypher::Prophet is an artwork dedicated to the punk origins of blockchain designed and realized by hackatao and hex6c. In the transposition into images we started from the iconographic canons of the hacker (hoodie, laptop, cryptographic elements) and associated them with the figure of the prophet, thus highlighting the predictive nature of the works of Eric Hughes (Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1988) and Timothy C. May (Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, 1993) as well as of the blockchain inventors Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta (How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document, The Journal of Cryptography, 1991).

Cypher::Prophet

In Italian "dress" translates as "abito" which also means "inhabit". Hence ‘dress’ refers both to the habitat (house) and to what we wear (dress). It also concerns the habits that are a persistent form of our being. And so the Cypher::Prophet dress contains elements of our digital crypto habitat, with references to its cypherpunk origins.
