• A new Satoshi Nakamoto sculpture, “Somos Génesis,” wins a 2,000 dollar BTC prize in Buenos Aires.

• The competition featured nearly 300 artists, merging crypto culture with physical public art displays.

A sculpture representing the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, will be permanently installed in the city of Buenos Aires. This development follows the announcement of the winners of the fifth edition of the PremioB·Arte, organized by the NGO Bitcoin Argentina. The award ceremony formed a key part of the 13th edition of LABITCONF 2025, regarded as the leading Bitcoin conference in Latin America.

The winning project in the sculpture category, titled “Somos Génesis” (“We Are Genesis”), was created by the artists Ricardo & Celeste. The work earned them a prize of 2,000 dollars in Bitcoin. As stipulated by the competition’s guidelines, the sculpture will be permanently placed in the Parque de la Innovación (Innovation Park) of Buenos Aires. This park is a physical space designed to support activities for entrepreneurs and researchers in science and technology.

The same sculpture category also awarded a second place to the project “La fuente de Satoshi” (“The Satoshi Fountain”), by artist Sebastián Nill. This recognition included a prize of 500 dollars in BTC. 

Beyond sculptural work, the contest awarded other forms of artistic expression. In the digital art category, artist Blas V. was the winner. Meanwhile, the awardee in the physical art category was Kathonejo. Both creators individually received 500 dollars in BTC for their works, which were also inspired by the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto.

An Event Consolidating the Intersection of Art and Cryptography

The permanent installation of “Somos Génesis” in a public space of the city marks a tangible milestone, fusing the legacy of Bitcoin with the urban and cultural environment of Buenos Aires.
