“How punk!” was created directly with the participation from CryptoPunk creators Matt Hall and John Watkinson. It tells the story of this unprecedented journey: from a candid blockchain experiment to the world’s most prestigious museums and auction houses.

CryptoPunks have shaken up the art worldtriggering an artistic revolution and a speculative storm of enormous proportions.

ARTE describe THE plot of the film about CryptoPunk as following:
“In 2017, two unknown programmers were having fun tinkering with an algorithm. The result was a collection of 10,000 pixelated characters with an old-school 8-bit look, CryptoPunk, which they then offered for free via the blockchain. Who would have thought that just three years later they would be worth billions of dollars. »
Behind “What The Punk!” “, There is director Hervé Martin Delpierre who, in general, is dedicated to making documentaries that reveal his passion for the artistic and cultural trends of the 21st century. His most important film is “Daft Punk Unchained”, the only existing one about the most famous electronic group, and it has been sold in more than 80 countries.
