• Launch Anniversary: The Bauhaus Signet, crafted by Oskar Schlemmer in 1923, is celebrating its 101st anniversary this year—a milestone reminiscent of binary code, symbolizing the connection between the Bauhaus’ revolutionary ideas and the digital realm.

Pricing and Availability:

• 0.0888 ETH minting price
• 1,888 one-of-one onchain NFTs will be available for purchase Innovation and Legacy: The Bauhaus school and blockchain technology share a common DNA rooted in disruption, innovation, and decentralization. The Bauhaus Signet—Schlemmer’s minimalist depiction of the human profile—remains an enduring symbol of this pioneering spirit. It was one of the earliest explorations of design merging art with technology, a precursor to today’s digital revolution through blockchain and NFTs. This iconic design, re-envisioned as an early „PFP“ (profile picture), now exists as a digital identity, decentralized, and immune to censorship, persecution, or authoritarian control—built to last forever on-chain.

Art and Community: The Bauhaus school, much like today’s crypto communities, was a hub of collective creativity and collaboration. Just as the Bauhaus encouraged a revolutionary fusion of craft, high art, and technology across disciplines like typography, photography, and architecture, today’s blockchain spaces foster open-source collaboration and decentralized governance. Both movements emphasize progressive approaches to education and innovation, creating bridges between the past and the future.
