Jæn is a multidisciplinary crypto artist whose work blends surrealism, symbolism, and digital experimentation to explore the mythologies of the blockchain age. In this episode, Jean shares his journey from early creative explorations to the evolving world of crypto art, and reflects on how lucid dreams, metaphysics, and digital culture shape his creative practice. We talk about the Cult of Crypto Art, the symbolism of burn addresses and blockchain rituals, and what it means to build culture through code, community, and storytelling.
