Proof of Art
Proof of Art explores the ideas, values, and cultural forces shaping cryptoart.
From its early history and foundational figures to its evolving systems of curation, stewardship, and patronage, we examine how art is created, experienced, and valued in the context of crypto. Through conversations with artists, collectors, and builders, we explore themes of decentralization, sovereignty, rebellion, and provenance, forming a living archive of a movement that challenges traditional art systems and redefines the nature of art.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Muhju is an architect and illustrator who is known for his distinctive style which he terms Renaissance 2.0. He draws inspiration from antiquity, including ancient Greece and Rome as well as the Renaissance and Baroque periods. His digital artwork combines a range of elements from these epochs, and this is also reflected through physical jewelry that he designs. Muhju’s artwork has been exhibited internationally, and his first solo exhibition, Renaissance Dreams, was recently presented by Anggrech Agency in Zurich.
Recorded on August 9, 2024 as a Space on X.
