Kuno Goda is a pseudonymous Germany-based artist.
By his own account Goda was born in the GDR in the 1980s.
The name Kuno Goda is a pseudonym, borrowed in part from Konrad Zuse, creator of the first working computer and a painter under the guise “Kuno See”.
With a degree in engineering,[1] most of Goda's works relate to technology in some way.
He owes his foray into the international art scene to the digital currencies Bitcoin[2] [3] and Ethereum.[4]
His work "200 Bitcoins" was inspired by Andy Warhol's "200 One Dollar Bills"[5] [6] and is regarded to be the first contemporary artwork for digital currency.[7] The work is dedicated to anonymous bitcoin protocol creator Satoshi Nakamoto. In March 2014 the work was sold to a Seattle businessman for an undisclosed amount.[5] [8] The Wall Street Journal reported a selling price of $125.000[2] but the artist later clarified that the price was much lower.[9]
His Ethereum-related work "Glideth" features all four permutations of the renowned hacker emblem the "Glider", hand-printed on a copper-clad plate.
On World Press Freedom Day 2016 he published a book called "Tell All - How To Bypass Media Censorship". As a commentary to book censorship, the book itself is 90% blacked out.
