Cypherpunk

A salute to crypto art history with 8 digital paintings done in Procreate and Photoshop and then combined into a looped video with music by Yonat and me, me playing guitar and Yonat theremin. The piece includes two snippets of code. The first is Python emergency stop for the action of a drone, the second is machine learning code for State-of-the-art diffusion models for image and audio generation in PyTorch. The reason for the code is the statement in Eric Hughes 1993 Cypherpunk Manifesto “Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and ... we're going to write it." The first relates to defying authority and I chose the machine learning code because it relates to using AI in web3.
