## About

Paul Seidler is an artist, researcher and programmer whose work traverses networks — from creating decentralized protocols to deploying legal interventions. He graduated from the University of the Arts Berlin (class of Prof. Joachim Sauter) in 2020. Since 2015, he has worked with blockchain technologies to investigate questions of value, ownership and encryption, creating onchain work using self-written smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits and token-based protocols. He is a founding member of terra0, a collective developing hybrid ecosystems within the technosphere. His work has been shown at the 7th Athens Biennale, Schinkel Pavilion, Transmediale, the 58th Carnegie International, and KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
