H2CO3

French crypto-artist exploring life and civilizational mechanisms

About

H2CO3 explores the quest for balance at the heart of chaos, studying the causal forces that define our trajectory through time. As a self-taught engineer, artist and entrepreneur, I seek to understand how invisible transformations shape our world and our future.

Specialized in Crypto and Artificial Intelligence, I combine art and technology to reveal these complex processes and their impact on our reality. Through my entrepreneurial project PsychozAI, I develop innovative solutions for behavioral analysis and AI-assisted cognitive therapy.

Through various mediums, my work invites us to rethink the relationship between consumption, regeneration, and the cycles that govern our existence.

Far from being a simple observation, my art is part of a reflection on the evolution of systems and their adaptation. Each work becomes an exploration of the underlying principles of the world, where balance, even fragile, emerges in a subtle interplay between degradation and transformation.

Everything you need to know about H2CO3

H2CO3 is a French artist exploring the mechanics of large-scale causality — those that structure masses, shape trends, and influence individual trajectories. His work unfolds across three complementary mediums: physical installations visible in Bordeaux's urban space and in the garden of Les Vivres de l'Art; digital art collections distributed across Ethereum and Polygon blockchains (over 1,800 works created since 2021); technological projects questioning power, trust, and systems (PsychozAI, SmartPayTrust, Choices & Consequences). Each piece seeks to make visible the invisible chains of causality that shape societies and individuals.

H2CO3 is the chemical formula for carbonic acid, a molecule that regulates ocean acidification by absorbing CO₂. This pseudonym symbolizes global causality: a local action generates planetary effects. This logic is at the heart of my artistic practice: social, ecological, and economic crises are interconnected — and everyone suffers the consequences, directly or indirectly. Art here becomes a revealer of these invisible mechanisms.

My work explores civilizational dynamics across several fields. In contemporary art: Cycles & Civilisations analyzes the technological junction between the 20th and 21st centuries, showing how economic models demolished the myth of meritocracy. Other series — What's the Price of Freedom?, The Seven — interrogate respectively the consumption cycle and the seven deadly sins in the digital age. In technology: PsychozAI explores AI and the human psyche; SmartPayTrust rethinks trust via blockchain; Choices & Consequences creates a global-scale collaborative game. In digital art: my collections like Pareidolia Microscopia, Grimmstein, or Micromension live on Ethereum and Polygon. These projects differ in form, but are united by the same backbone: making visible the civilizational causality that structures our societies.

My approach starts from a simple principle: nothing happens by chance. Every visible crisis — ecological, social, economic — results from long chains of causality, often invisible to those who suffer them. My work consists of tracing these chains, revealing what lies behind appearances: economic structures, power dynamics, narratives that guide collective and individual behaviors. For me, art is a tool for analysis and revelation, not a decorative object. Through physical installations, digital art, and technological devices, I seek to materialize what would otherwise remain abstract: the systemic forces that shape our existences.

We are living through a civilizational transition: ecological collapse, technological shift (AI, blockchain), systemic economic crises. These phenomena are not isolated; they are the result of long causal chains — energy extractivism, financialization, centralization of power. Understanding these cycles (birth, expansion, decline, mutation) allows us to anticipate transformations and regain a margin for collective action. My work is not pessimistic: it is lucid. Revealing the mechanisms also means opening doors.

Currently, some of my installations — notably skeletons — are visible in the streets of Bordeaux and in the garden of Les Vivres de l'Art. My digital art collections are available online on Ethereum and Polygon via OpenSea. My books — 24h in the Life of an AI and The Heirs of Luminar — are available on Amazon.
