ABOUT

Jeg is a key figure in the Bitcoin art movement, embodying the cypherpunk ethos with unwavering conviction. For him, pseudonymity isn’t just a choice—it’s a declaration of freedom and autonomy. In a world where constant exposure has become the norm, Jeg believes that pseudonymity is essential for protecting privacy and independence in the digital age. This is why he wears a mask: a symbol of his commitment to anonymity in an increasingly transparent world.

 

As Eric Hughes wrote in A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto:

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, while a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."

 

Staying true to these principles, Jeg channels his art into advocating libertarian ideas, Bitcoin, digital freedom, and data protection, encouraging deep reflection on the impact of the digital world on society. Each of his pieces is filled with hidden references, that only the initiated can fully recognize, while the more curious are invited to decipher the clues woven into his work.
