In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System in response to the financial crisis. This text was the birth of a new paradigm, the blockchain. Based on Nakamoto's vision, people worldwide have created a new infrastructure that can be used for the transfer of assets, information and much more. Since then, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and applications like Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have become known. But the precise connections of these abstract terms are understood only by the initiated; Franzreb sets out to shed visual light on this hidden world.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
