Launched on July 1, 2025, 'The Eyes Are Always Watching' is a groundbreaking digital art collection consisting of 21,000 pieces inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain using Ordinals.
This innovative project emphasizes pure, immutable art, as it does not involve any tokens, utility, or paywalls, making it accessible to everyone.
Created by the pseudonymous artist Mr. Black, the collection aims to reflect the diversity and complexity of humanity through unique portraits of both iconic figures and everyday moments.
Each piece in the collection explores diverse themes, including historical figures, social justice, and personal stories, inviting viewers to find reflections of themselves within the art.
The project aspires to serve as a decentralized art archive for all 8 billion people on Earth, ensuring that each artwork is permanently embedded on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Mr. Black emphasizes the eternal nature of Bitcoin, stating that the collection represents a truest form of art that preserves the soul and remains immutable.
Utilizing Ordinals technology, the project allows digital media to be inscribed directly onto Bitcoin, providing unmatched permanence without relying on external servers or centralized platforms.
Since its inception in November 2023, the project has gained visibility through public installations and mobile billboards in cities like Rome, Jerusalem, and Las Vegas, promoting the message 'Fear God, Not Man.'
The project was prominently featured at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, further establishing its significance within the global Bitcoin community and the Ordinals ecosystem.
With over 1,000 pieces already permanently embedded on-chain, the collection is free to mint and aims to serve as a mirror for humanity.
By blending art, philosophy, and protest, 'The Eyes Are Always Watching' invites people to explore its themes and claim pieces from the collection without any associated costs.
Each artwork is designed to be immutable and decentralized, representing a true form of art that remains in its original state forever.
