Hackatao is one of the 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins”, the first NFT book that tells the history and evolution of Crypto Art
“CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells the exciting beginnings and evolution of the Crypto Arte through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their projects NFT .
CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Hackatao
Hackatao is the union of two minds and artistic sensibilities that meet to give life to works that find a home in the digital universe.
Works that, starting from the subject to the stroke, are the total expression of the crypto language, where values of freedom and equality reign.
WHO IS HACKATAO?
If we were to assign a number to Hackatao to symbolize his essence, it would be the two of Yin and Yang that converge in the Tao, the totality from which all opposites are generated and in which they meet again to find their completeness.
Like Yin and Yang, the two components of Hackatao – S and N – met in 2007 in Milan to create an artistic duo that draws on the creative strength of two souls with different identities, personalities and styles.
In 2012 Hackatao left the city to find refuge in the meditative dimension of the mountains, maintaining the connection with the surrounding world thanks to technology.
The world of Crypto Art is a discovery. A place where you are free to experiment with your art surrounded by a community that follows the principles of transparency, democracy and collaboration.
The style of the two halves of Hackato is the result of the convergence of the two artistic personalities, extremely recognizable and now cult of the NFT scene.
Hackatao’s first creation are the “Podmorks”, small totem creatures that are modeled in ceramic and decorated with designs and acrylic colors.
As muses and guides of the artistic universe, the “Podmorks” help Hackatao understand his potential and inspire him to expand his experimentation in digital, with 3D modeling.
The work with 3D allowed him to fully understand the aspects of digital creation and to move on to the production of canvases.
“Queen of Crypto” (2022), NFT of the series“Queens + Kings” created to celebrate Pride month is a powerful artistic statement.
The stroke and the decorative elements are rich in references to crypto culture, where the blockchain represents a tool for free expression and social improvement. The image of a queen of this new universe who is an icon of everything she represents for those who populate it.
The theme of the crypto utopia fits perfectly with that of the battle to support the rights of the LGBTQ + community which too often is treated as a utopia. The digital universe has shown that it is possible to reimagine a world with a different social structure that allows us to reconstruct our values.
THE CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT HACKATAO
Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art , who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about Hackatao:
“Technology has always existed in Hackatao’s creative process. It has become an extension of their being artists, shortening the distance between mind and creation, taking their ideas and allowing them to ‘be the mirror of each other’ and to identify with the digital in order to be transformed ”.

Gus Grillasca: meme, cyberpunk and the future in NFT
Gus Grillasca is one of the 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins”, the first NFT book that tells the history and evolution of Crypto Art
“CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells the exciting beginnings and evolution of the Crypto Arte through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their projects NFT
CRYPTO ART – Begins presenta Gus Grillasca
Expert in the history of the NFT and blockchain market, Gus Grillasca is an illustrator who has long been producing his art for the Crypto world.
His works reflect his interest in blockchain, Cyberpunk and memes – all that are strongly characteristic of the digital age.
WHO IS GUS GRILLASCA?
Not many know that Crypto Art has a history that starts from 2013 – when artists started producing art connected to the blockchain universe – but even fewer can claim to have witnessed it right away, like Gus Grillasca.
Biotechnologist, teacher, entrepreneur and illustrator – Grillasca immediately understood how much the NFT market can help artists to earn independently with their work and decided to join it.
In 2017 the artist launched ArtOlin, an NFT market platform. He is considered a pioneer of Crypto Art in Latin America.
HIS ART
One of the merits of Crypto Arte is that of having elevated memes to the status of works of art, giving space to that enormous culture that has developed in the most recent phases of the Internet and which has become the most representative creative language of the last. generations.
Gus Grillasca in his works follows the stylistic canons characteristic of this aesthetic as a trait with a rebellious, Punk and futuristic flavor.
A work that perfectly sums up the aesthetics of Grillasca is “CORDYCEPTED” (2021). A tech-themed horror story told by an animated Cyberpunk-style NFT.
A futurist metaphor for the addiction to technology that plagues our time. Grillasca’s “Cordyceps” is a fungus that survives by colonizing the brain of its human host, reduced to the state of a zombie.
Has technology, like the fungus, colonized our minds making us less alert? The same artist, on SuperRare , leaves us with three questions:
“Is the technology alive? Are we controlled by it? Have we been “cordycepted”? “
THE CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT GUS GRILLASCA
Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art , who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about Gus Grillasca:
“In our interview, Gus Grillasca explains how Crypto Art is the first art movement that brought attention to meme aesthetics that wasn’t even on the radar of art galleries before. Crypto Art began somewhere between the meme, futurist and trash art aesthetic ”.

David Young is one of the 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins”, the first NFT book that tells the story and evolution of Crypto Art
“CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells the exciting beginnings and evolution of theCrypto Arte through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their projectsNFT .
His projects offer a new perspective on the use of this technology. Instead of exploiting it for its efficiency in reproducing our thoughts, perhaps we can learn to listen to what it tells us about us that we do not know.
The artist’s work follows the track of emerging technologies by incorporating the use of the first supercomputers into creative practice, up to artistic and innovative initiatives of global weight.
David Young’s research meets artificial intelligence which becomes an integral part of his creative process.
HIS ART
AI is the most representative technology of the voracious expansion that characterizes our time. It could not exist and function efficiently without an unimaginable amount of data that only the powerful who manage the information can provide.
Thus, artificial intelligence learns from us and as a mirror of our culture it adopts all the biases of our society.
David Young’s art is born from a push against the current and he wonders if it is possible, looking at this technology through the search for beauty, to know an aspect that has nothing to do with efficiency.
If we want to convey something to artificial intelligence, it is a duty to teach it the only human taste for beauty.
Young taught his computer to draw flowers using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Instead of being fed an endless stream of data collected from the Internet, the computer mind has been referenced by images of the flowers growing on the artist’s farm in Bovina, New York.
The result are not realistic reproductions of the flowers, but this is not the point of the artist’s experimentation.
With the empathy that only a human can have for something he has created, David Young gives AI the freedom to imagine its own unique version of the natural world.
CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT DAVID YOUNG
Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art , who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about David Young:
“ David Young’s point of view on technology that emerged during the interview was compelling. Among many reflections, he also questioned our cultural obsession with the new, the idea that technological progress always leads to the best. We have to ask ourselves if the technology is really better than what came before ”.

Gordon Berger’s NFTs: the evolution of the creative process
Gordon Berger is one of 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book to chronicle the history and evolution of Crypto Art
“CRYPTO ART – Begins” chronicles the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the story and work of 50 of the world’s top artists who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of its present and future revolution with their NFT projects.
CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Gordon Berger
A pioneer of Crypto Art, which he has been studying since 2011, Gordon Berger can be described as a digital painter.
The constant elements of his production are research into the creative process and the interaction between human and digital reality.
WHO IS GORDON BERGER?
Gordon Berger’s contribution to Crypto Art can be defined with only one term: pioneering.
The first artist to give a TEDx Talk on art and blockchain in 2018, when few foresaw its innovative potential, from a very young age he discovered a passion for the creative production process.
When he grows up and realizes that he is not the only one who has felt this need, through the history of art he begins to understand its cultural and social function, fundamental for mankind.
His work has always explored the creative interaction between human and digital fits organically into the NFT world.
HIS ART
Her practice focuses on painting in relation to technological impact. The intersection of digital and physical reality serves as a common thread.
What would digital media be without the human component? According to Gordon Berger the creative gift belongs exclusively to man and technologies are only an extension of his expressive capacity.
The creative process comes from uploading Berger’s distinctive brushstrokes to an algorithm that then combines them to generate abstract paintings.
Artistic awareness returns, then, in the selection of which of the generative paintings to introduce into his series.
The study of the creative process between human and digital is the subject of Gordon Berger’s latest series: “Evolve”. 13 paintings that represent the evolution of the previous one.
In how the shapes and strokes transform after each update, becoming more plastic and complex, we can see how the algorithm operates its reworkings through the artist’s direction.
“Evolve 13” (2022) is the latest NFT in the series, an almost symmetrical image where the stroke takes on a texture, as if it were a bas-relief. The animated quality of the work shows us a light flowing through it, allowing us to appreciate its three-dimensionality.
Just to best represent the entire artistic evolution, “Evolve 0” (2022) is a white rectangle. The first interaction between artist and creation, a nothingness charged with infinite possibilities.
CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT GORDON BERGER
Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about Gordon Berger:
“Gordon Berger discovered blockchain and the Crypto world in late 2011 and was immediately inspired by the impact it could have on our growing digital universe. He then started a mining operation in 2012 and learned about the new possibilities for governance, decentralization and digital scarcity.”

Gisel Florez is one of 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book to tell the story and evolution of Crypto Art
“”CRYPTO ART – Begins” chronicles the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the story and work of 50 of the world’s top artists who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of its present and future revolution with their NFT projects.
CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Gisel Florez
Gisel Florez is a photographer who has used her talent to access her transformation into a digital artist.
Undisputed protagonists of her NFTs, her waves of light and water that tell of the mysterious universal interconnections that manifest themselves with secret flows of energy.
WHO GISEL FLOREZ IS?
An artist of the handheld video camera and the video techniques she incorporates within her conceptual practice, Gisel Florez has a relationship with art that has deep and solid roots.
With over 18 years of experience in the New York photography scene, Florez’s collaborations as a still life photographer include international brands and established editorial publications.
In 2018 she was inspired by her son to take an interest in Crypto Art. She began, thus, uploading her work to SuperRare and KnownOrigin.
Her involvement with Crypto Art is not limited to artistic production. Gisel Florez is also the founder of Women of Cryptoart (WOCA), a community of support for women protagonists of this revolution.
HER ART
In Gisel Florez’s artistic research, photography is a medium through which to explore the notion of the sublime, transformation and the fundamental aspects of human experience.
Themes that are connected by the narration of energy transmissions. The imperceptible flows that connect each element of the universe are narrated by a 4×5 camera and video.
The artist’s gaze identifies the path of interaction between water, fire and light through the symbol of the wave that in Florez’s works takes on different forms, all representative of earth vibrations.
Here emerges a reflection on how understanding microcosmic events in our reality teaches us much about its macrocosm. The lines generated by the path that light has taken during the time of capture reveal the decision-making will of chance unfolding through the temporal dimension.
This concept is developed even further in “Transmission of Lights: Galvanized Current” (2020), a galaxy of colors, textures and multifaceted lighting, as the artist herself calls it.
A study of the worlds that lie between the universe of digital media and the digitization of emotions. A fascinating temporal map of visual emission waves.
CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT GISEL FLOREZ
Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about Gisel Florez:
“In our lengthy interview with artist Gisel Florez, she talked about her sources of inspiration and her deep relationship with light. The way light meets our beings, refracting colors we’ve never seen, and how the camera reveals elements of visual light play that we can’t catch with the naked eye.”

BitKeep: the future of decentralized finance in the hands of the most prestigious crypto wallet, Bitget
Bitget, one of the leading global cryptocurrency exchange platforms with more than 1.8 million users worldwide, long ago introduced to its Launchpad BitKeep, a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet to manage, among many other things, NFTs.
The Launchpad platform has entered the competitive DeFi, dApp and NFT domains, creating a circuit, the main purpose of which is to support the crypto ecosystem as a whole, providing access to important crypto projects and all the tools a crypto user might need.
A year of progress for BitKeep: the review
“We are extremely excited to launch our Launchpad initiative with BitKeep, one of the leading cryptocurrency wallets in Asia. As we look to the future, we will continue to strengthen our commitment to offer rewarding investment opportunities to our clients while delivering a cutting-edge experience.”
Yvonne Tee, Bitget’s chief marketing officer, had commented at the time of the partnership.
Never were her words more timely, as BitKeep in 2021 marked its most significant evolution. Overall, 2021 was a pivotal year for the blockchain industry, both in terms of user growth and technological development. Indeed, on-chain assets have grown at an unprecedented rate, and more obscure concepts such as NFTs, metaverse, and Web3 have gradually matured in people’s awareness.
In particular, wanting to talk about the hard data, we know that BitKeep has won the title of the best decentralized multi-chain wallet in Asia, supporting more than 40 major chains, 10,000 dApps and 45,000 tokens.
Not only that, the service is used by more than 6 million users worldwide, BitKeep’s DAU has increased 11.7 times, and since BKSwap went online in July, ADV has grown 50 times in three months.
The BitKeep portfolio has not been shy about expanding; in fact, it has established teams in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Dubai, Pakistan, and many other regions around the globe to provide opportunities for everyone to participate in projects. In addition, it has established strategic partnerships with several of the top 30 most widely used mainnets.
Expansion into the app universe and on Chrome
To meet the services demanded by users, BitKeep found the solution in the creation of its app, which offers wallets, cross-chain transactions, and DeFi, later adding support for NFTs, BKSwap, and dApps.
The most recent update to BitKeep’s app occurred in July 2021, when version 6.0 was released, which introduced a cross-chain bridge, real-time provision of prices in the BKSwap section, and support for 25 mainstream protocols.
Not only that, the NFT section was also improved, allowing NFTs to be displayed, collected and transferred on seven different chains. In addition, the dApp section has been expanded so that it can support over 10,000 of decentralized applications and has been divided into nine categories: DEXs, GameFi, NFTs, Finance, Lending, Derivatives, Yield, Bridge, and Oracle.
Last but not least, a “tags” feature was added, used to mark the highest priority mainchains and add them to the favorites list.
With the same features as the app, BitKeep also launched BitKeep Chrome, a plug-in wallet for browsers. The wallet supports several Ethereum-based smart contracts and more than 30 public chains. In addition, thanks to BitKeep Chrome, users have the ability to manage their assets on multiple chains, so they are not forced to install a different wallet for each individual network.
The evolution dictated by Bitkeep
BitKeep’s utility token, BKB, was introduced in September 2021 and made available to users through airdrop events and rewards. Later that year, BitKeep launched the Launchpad section to enable users to access potentially important projects while they are still in their early stages. BitKeep Launchpad (Beta) was finally released on 13 January 2022, with all shares subscribed in just four minutes, leading to an ROL of 100 times in 15 minutes.
BitKeep has set big goals for 2022: the launch of a dedicated NFT marketplace, increased provision of more quality projects, a new DeFi 2.0 section, and the introduction of BitKeep Open, to improve the relationship between platform, developers, and users.
In addition, the possibility of BitKeep presenting innovative products in the GameFi and DeFi areas is by no means remote. Web3 is developing rapidly, and the industry will certainly need wallets like Bitkeep to bridge the decentralized finance ecosystem.
