Artist and Researcher
Paul Seidler is an artist and researcher based in Berlin, whose work traverses networks — from creating protocols to deploying decentralized and peer-to-peer interventions. In 2020, he graduated from the University of the Arts Berlin in the class of Prof. Joachim Sauter. Since 2015, he has been working with blockchain-based technologies to investigate questions of value, ownership and encryption, thereby creating a body of onchain work using self-written smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits and token-based protocols.

Pseudonymous Artist
Working with smart contracts and distributed systems. Their projects treat blockchain protocols as both material and site for art-making—creating long-running works that run as autonomous programs, accumulate endless todo lists, or map their own movement across networks. Through exhibitions like World Computer Sculpture Garden—a pure show of contracts and a show as contract itself—they explore computation not as a tool but as the thing itself. Part systems art, part poetic experiment, their practice playfully investigates alternative ways of understanding computation, from protocol art to collaborative, dynamic environments.
