BIO
GBA
​​Gordon Berger is a pioneer of the Crypto Art movement. Since 2011, he has been at the forefront of blockchain innovation, dedicating his career to fusing traditional fine art with AI and cryptography, documenting humanity’s transition into a digitized world.
​
For over a decade, Gordon has contributed to the evolution of digital art, from early Bitcoin and AI experimentation leading to the shaping of the NFT ecosystem and creating some of the first generative art projects on Ethereum.
​
He was the first TEDx speaker on NFTs at the Museum of London (2018), served as Executive Strategic Advisor for tech companies, and was one of seven council members at SuperRare, managing a $60M treasury. Gordon initiated a new format for tokenizing assets on Bitcoin, founded RuneArt, the first platform merging Ordinals and Runes, and the Bitcoin Art Foundation, dedicated to preserving cultural value and shaping the future of Fine Art on-chain.
​
Weaving together themes of value, materiality, networks, labor, and time, his artwork has been exhibited worldwide, featured in major publications, and collected by institutions including Google. He has lectured internationally on AI and Blockchain, most notably led over 100 participants in Christie’s Education London course on Digital Assets, Metaverse & Blockchain.
​
A graduate of Central Saint Martins (BA Fine Arts, London), his practice merges novel mediums with the most ancient ones - reflecting on what it means to be an artist today, as the role of creativity is redefined for an entire generation.
