SEPARATION OF MONEY AND STATE

SEPARATION OF MONEY AND STATE
1517 | October 31 | 2008
9/9

A captivating collaboration between Polymerbit and Flo Montoya, this mixed media art series combines machine printing with analog screen printing to explore a pivotal moment in financial and cultural history. The artwork features representations of iconic fiat bills and a clear window displaying the first page of Bitcoin's white paper. At the center stands a strong figure reminiscent of Martin Luther.
Drawing a parallel between Luther's revolutionary act of nailing his 95 theses to the church door on October 31, 1517, and the release of Bitcoin's white paper on the same date 491 years later, the piece suggests a profound historical symmetry. It invites viewers to contemplate the transformative potential of Bitcoin, much like the printing press and Luther's actions catalyzed change in their era.
This thought-provoking piece challenges us to envision the separation of money and state, pondering the profound implications such a shift could have on human life and endeavors.

Certificate of Authenticity will be shipped directly to the buyer in September.
