On September 9 in Hanoi, the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Assets Association (VBA) in collaboration with 1Matrix Company officially launched the 5th Blockchain Gallery & Satoshi Statue in the world .
Ms. Nguyen Van Hien - Vice President and General Secretary of VBA, who directly initiated and realized the idea of bringing the Satoshi statue to Vietnam, said that this is the 5th Satoshi statue in the world, a symbol of decentralized culture, technological spirit and the desire for innovation.
Before Vietnam, Hungary, Switzerland, El Salvador, and Japan have placed statues of Satoshi in many different versions, as a recognition of the special contributions of the "father" of Bitcoin to the global financial technology industry.
The Satoshi statue announced by VBA is the “vanishing” version, designed by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi. The statue has a unique disappearing effect when viewed from the side to the front, similar to how Satoshi Nakamoto completely disappeared after building the Bitcoin network and giving power to the global community. Valentina spent 21 months designing and testing this version so that the work could convey the entire spirit and decentralized culture of Bitcoin.
Previously, the Satoshi statue also had a faceless bronze version called “We are all Satoshi” designed by two young Hungarian sculptors, Réka Gergely and Tamás Gilly. In the bronze version, every visitor will see their own face reflected on it when standing opposite, conveying the message that anyone can be Satoshi.
The Satoshi statue is located at the Blockchain Gallery, where technology meets art, where dry lines of code are sublimated into emotions, and where the history of blockchain, Bitcoin and crypto assets are reimagined through a creative lens.
Here, the development journey of blockchain technology – from its infancy to its global explosion – is told through paintings combining oil paint and AI technology, conceived, created and executed by young artists from VBA over many months.
"Blockchain Gallery is proof that blockchain is not only technology, but also culture, contributing to shaping values in real life. With Blockchain Gallery, for the first time in Vietnam, the public can enter an exhibition dedicated to blockchain technology and digital assets, to directly experience and share the innovative spirit of the 4.0 era," Ms. Hien shared.
Mr. Phan Duc Trung - Chairman of VBA, Chairman of 1Matrix said that the first Satoshi statue and Blockchain Gallery in Vietnam are located at 1Matrix Company Headquarters (Times City urban area, Hanoi) and will be open to the public every Saturday.
"To be able to portray the special meaning of the Satoshi Statue's disappearance, we chose a location facing a large space, leaning against the Red River with the hope that the development of crypto assets in Vietnam will always be a continuous flow, like a source of nourishment for the development of Vietnam's digital economy ," Mr. Trung emphasized.
According to Mr. Phan Duc Trung, VBA will continue to replicate the Satoshi Statue and Blockchain Gallery models to create more cultural and technological spaces for the Web3 community across Vietnam.
"The story of Satoshi Nakamoto is an endless source of inspiration for the global blockchain community, and bringing the statue to Vietnam not only spreads the core values of transparent, free, and secure blockchain, but is also a way to connect technology with culture, bringing blockchain closer to the public. This is also a concrete step, gradually contributing to the implementation of the Politburo's policy in Resolution 57 on innovation and national digital transformation," Mr. Phan Duc Trung emphasized./.
