Each day, a new artistic composition is generated autonomously using a data feed of Bitcoin’s last 24 hours of price action. Each hour’s price controls rotation, scale, and position of a correlating layer. Astute viewers will surmise the previous day’s price volatility simply by examining the artwork. High volatility generates more interesting compositions, while low volatility returns artwork closer to the original.
210 NFTs
A total of 210 generative editions will be minted over the course of this project, estimated to last 10+ years. Throughout, the artist will update the design, creating visually distinguishable series within the body of work. This project begins with the expectation it will touch many different platforms, blockchains, and generally adapt with the passage of time. Just as Bitcoin inspired the birth of new technologies, this project seeks to unite many.
