Bitcoin Week Paris Press Release

T

From the Streets to the Blockchain

PARIS — May 18–24, 2026 – As the global financial landscape shifts, Paris becomes the epicenter of a new cultural frontier. Located at 17 rue Chapon in the heart of the 3rd Arrondissement, this exclusive exhibition marks Bitcoin Week 2026 and the legendary Pizza Day—the moment code transformed into tangible value.

A POINT OF NO RETURN

This is not merely an exhibition; it is a tipping point. Bitcoin Week 2026 is a catalyst for an international community that is no longer content with analyzing the world—they are actively displacing its structures. This space serves as a collision between contemporary creation and the profound technological mutations of our era.

Here, art is operative. It does not decorate; it accelerates, disturbs, and reconfigures the frameworks of trust and value.

THE PROTAGONISTS

SHOOT THE BANK | The Critical Urban Instigator

A titan of critical urban art since 2008, Shoot The Bank has utilized the world’s metropolises—from Paris and London to Beijing and São Paulo—as a canvas to expose economic and social tensions.

  • Legacy: Documented in the Arte film Goldman Sachs: The Bank That Rules the World.
  • Vision: Moving from the streets to the studio, his current work in painting and sculpture interrogates the fragility of established systems and the friction of the transition to new paradigms.
  • Web: shootthebank.com

JEAN 103 | The Phygital Architect

Jean 103 merges the ancestral craft of mosaic with the immutable logic of the digital age.

  • Technique: Using « phygital » construction, his pieces utilize pixel art aesthetics and urban codes to explore traceability and permanence.
  • Philosophy: By integrating contemporary cryptographic mechanisms, his work stands as a manifesto for a world where creation and exchange are transparent, durable, and sovereign.
