About Primavera De Filippi
Primavera De Filippi is an artist and legal scholar at Harvard University, exploring the intersection between art, law and technology, focusing specifically on the legal and political implications of blockchain technology. Her artistic practice instantiates the key findings of her research in the physical world, creating blockchain-based lifeforms that evolve and reproduce themselves as people feed them with cryptocurrencies. Her works have been exhibited internationally including Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; HEK Museum of Digital Arts, Basel, Switzerland; Furtherfield Gallery, London, UK; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; and Biennale di Venezia, Italy; as well as festivals such as Burning Man, Nevada, US; Fusion Festival, Lärz, Germany; and Synesthesia, Sesimbra, Portugal, and online galleries such as Feral File.
