May I humbly introduce an extremely #LowTimePreference open-ended #series of #Bitcoin #artwork that I have created and will continue to create into the future, which I'll be bringing to the Bitcoin 2023 Conference's #Art Gallery:
The Bitcoin Epoch Series
Bitcoin $BTC and the U.S. Dollar $USD are engaged in a #battle for supremacy; the incumbent USD versus the nascent contender Bitcoin to determine which will remain or become #Humanity’s global reserve currency. The BTC/USD price chart is the ongoing history of this battle:
Each work depicts a BTC/USD logarithmic price chart for each Bitcoin block reward halving period, or, “epoch”, laid underneath all the previous epochs that have come before it. Here's a look at the most recent epoch's artwork, entitled Epoch 3, showing layers for epochs 2 and 1:
Because a Bitcoin block reward halving only happens every four years, a new artwork in the series is only created every four years. Each artwork is unique and there will only ever be one produced for each epoch.
I intend to continue creating one artwork per newly completed epoch until either the U.S. Dollar dies and there is no more BTC/USD chart, or I do, whichever happens first.
In each artwork, the epoch represented in the name of the artwork is in white on a black background. Each epoch that has come before it is laid on top of it in reverse order such that the first epoch is always the foremost layer.
Here's a look at Epoch 1, with no prior epochs:
Each epoch other than the title epoch in white is colored and etched according to the preferences of the owner of the previous piece in the series.
There is no owner of Epoch 1, so I chose Satoshi's Genesis Block quote in orange.
Here's a look at Epoch 2 with updated epoch 1:
After each halving, the owner of the most recent artwork in the series may collaborate on the next artwork to choose the color and etching for the epoch represented by the artwork they own, allowing owners of the art to influence the design of all future works in the series.
Since I am retaining ownership of Epoch 2, I chose my personal logo and greens (of course) for the etching and color for epoch 2 in the Epoch 3 and all future artworks in the series.
Here is another look at Epoch 3:
The epochs and related designs that have been established thus far are:
Epoch 1: Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin Genesis block quote, in white on orange.
Epoch 2: Dustin D. Trammell, Personal Logo, in light greens on dark green.
Who will own and choose the design for Epoch 3? You?
Each piece is framed with built-in framing in black with a gray backing behind the artwork. The name of the piece and artist signature with production year are etched in white directly into the frame.
All artworks are laser cut with help from Yellowsubtab (npub1qun…ur8h) out of Baltic Birch wood and finished with acrylic paint. Each artwork comes with a digital Certificate of Authenticity provided by VerisArt.
While all three Epoch artworks will be displayed in the The Bitcoin 2023 Conference's Art Gallery, only Epoch 3 will be available in the accompanying Scarce.city #auction.
Will you be the one to win it, and collaborate with me on the epoch 3 design for the next artwork, Epoch 4? (:
