Block creation, 2018, Acrylics on canvas, 45x35cm (17,7x13,8″) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/12/18/EDc83.jpeg Block creation visualizes how a new block in Bitcoin's Blockchain is created. It starts at the bottom with pools of miners of different sizes. Their influence goes around the composition as the web of miners control (almost) all aspects of Bitcoin. Moving clockwise we follow the procedure of block creation. I didn't go into such detail as in Cryptoglyphs, but I think it's easier to grasp the system in this abstraction of the process. Block creation with subtitles: https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/12/18/EDLY8.jpeg This painting was designed to help interpret and explain the workings of Bitcoin's Blockchain. It was also meant to be visually stimulating so it would help evoke new ideas and concepts. I hope you like it. Please comment and suggest improvements if you have any ideas. oh and... bid on it, win it, get it, own it and join the art part of Bitcoin history! Cheers!

It was quite a challenge to visualize the Blockchain as it's such an abstract concept. https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/01/22/kZBrG.jpeg Title: Re: [AUCTION] 2018 Acrylic Painting: Block Creation Post by: 1Dq on January 26, 2024, 11:44:59 AM BUMP with a slight update.
I will pay for ALL SHIPPING COST MYSELF for this one! 5 days left. Cheers. Title: Re: [AUCTION] 2018 Acrylic Painting: Block Creation Post by: SN347 on January 26, 2024, 02:54:49 PM hmm, if I may speak frankly I really really like it, all your details make sence and the visual representation is succesful, but symmetry ruins everything ! - it is too symmetrical for my taste as an explanation, that would be correct but in art and especially with this topic (blockchain/block creation), more abstraction would make the picture really interesting.. a pity, because it's really really good Title: Re: [AUCTION] 2018 Acrylic Painting: Block Creation Post by: 1Dq on January 26, 2024, 07:49:53 PM hmm, if I may speak frankly I really really like it, all your details make sence and the visual representation is succesful, but symmetry ruins everything ! - it is too symmetrical for my taste as an explanation, that would be correct but in art and especially with this topic (blockchain/block creation), more abstraction would make the picture really interesting.. a pity, because it's really really good Thanks for the comment. I get what you mean. I was thinking about making an all-out abstraction of this motif for years now, but never really got satisfied with any concept. But this is one priority I'm gonna grasp and work on asap. There's so much possibility in this direction too, I can just imagine 20th century minimal art transformed as Blockchain variations!

This motif in minimal art with more abstraction and every time you stare it, I guarantee you would get lost in it.. respectfully / i'm not saying this version isn't good, just not my taste Incredible work !

I really like it and think it's an extremely imaginative piece of artwork! Alas I don't collect art and thus wouldn't bid even if I had enough BTC to blow on it. I just wanted to give props to its creator for visualizing the process of block creation in such a neat way.
