Biography

Monaghan received his B.F.A. in computer graphics from the New York Institute of Technology in 2008.[3] Monaghan then went on to receive a M.F.A. from the University of Maryland.

Work

Monaghan's animations have been exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival[4] and the Palais de Tokyo.[5] Monaghan's work sits in numerous public and private collections such as The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

As he stated, "My first artistic interests were [...] video game designers and science fiction movies".[3] His work Sacrifice of the Mushroom Kings is an eight-minute video of cryptic reproductions of video games characters from Street Fighter, G.I. Joe and Super Mario Bros.[6] He created the French penguin (2009), an "absurd and sad representation of power as a slave of itself"; Rainbow Narcosis (2012), a "journey through absurd worlds, loaded with historical and artistic references"; and Robot Ninja (2013), where "the environments become abstract and the spirit more masculine, almost macho".[7]

According to Token Supremacy: The Art of Finance, the Finance of Art, and the Great Crypto Crash of 2022, by Zachary Small, Monaghan created what is arguably the first NFT in 2013, when he processed the editions of his digital artwork 'Mothership' through the first iteration of a bitcoin blockchain registration framework called Keidom, later ascribe.[8] In 2017, he released a series of digital futuristic Fabergé eggs.[9]

Monaghan is represented by bitforms gallery in New York.[10]
