Elia Pieraccini, known as EP (Italian, b. 2000), is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, code and decentralized systems. His practice is rooted in fully on-chain art on Bitcoin, where each work is permanently inscribed through the Ordinals protocol. He treats the blockchain itself as his medium rather than as a means of distribution.
Raised near Florence, he developed an early interest in experimentation across visual languages and emerging technologies. His research spans compressionism, generative systems and conceptual art, using technical constraints as a framework for deliberate aesthetic decisions. Each work is stored fully on-chain, without reliance on IPFS, external servers or intermediaries, using techniques such as Ordinals recursion, dithering, pixelation, and real-time Bitcoin block data. His on-chain identity is anchored by the EP Artist Seal, Inscription #81,069,663, from which his individual collections descend through the Ordinals protocol's parent-child hierarchy. He has also released work as NFTs on Ethereum, alongside his Bitcoin inscriptions.
