Details (Click thumbnail to view)


Poster for a lecture on cypherpunks, crypto-anarchism, and civil disobedience. A2/A4 digital inkjet print (Ultrachrome ink on Red River “Zepplin” semimatte).

The practical use of asymmetric encryption requires that ones’ public key be ubiquitously available — a requirement as stringent as the need for the absolute secrecy of ones’ private key. This fact drove the decision to build up the posters’ background texture from the ad nauseum repetition of the presenters’ public key fingerprint.

This poster uses the same vector/pixel hybrid typeface as the Philipe Apeloig ripoff.
