Since 2018, Martin Lukas Ostachowski has demystified technical aspects and introduced the public to the technology through artworks and visualizations. Parts of this growing body of work were initially exhibited during his solo exhibition Tropopause Contemplation: Blockchain Technology and Inclusive Decentralization in 2019 and physical group exhibitions in North America, Asia and Europe. Most recently, Ostachowski created a historical overview of blockchain art history for one of the first institutional group exhibitions: DYOR Do Your Own Research at the Kunsthalle in Zurich, Switzerland. Aside from exhibiting and tokenizing crypto art since 2018, Martin Lukas Ostachowski co-authored a position paper on the subject in 2019 and started publishing his research of the crypto art history as a timeline in 2020. His comprehensive overview and articles earned him the crypto art historian nickname, leading to numerous international public speaking engagements over the past few years.
