Hello to all,
Many of you here know that i am a
luxury artist that works with exotic wood as a medium and am new to Bitcoin. I was asked last week by a major art exhibition firm to submit a piece that could go on their "Facultas" tour. The Facultas tour is a traveling exhibit of art pieces that will make 29 stops in 9 months spanning every continent on the planet. The Exhibition starts in March of 2015.
Facultas is a representation of Power, Means, Capacity and Ability. It is a Latin word which is often used to define the wealthy or those with above average financial means and every piece in the exhibit is to portray this.
Although i am new to the Bitcoin scene, i feel that a Bitcoin art piece would be perfect for this exhibit as Bitcoin in and of itself portrays a lot of these same characteristics.
What i am looking for from the community is some input and ideas on what kind of Bitcoin piece i should create. I think it should be something both artistic, and functional. I would like to somehow incorporate a Bitcoin address with hidden private key (kind of like a physical coin) into the piece so the piece actually holds value, turning the phrase "holding value" into a literal sense on the piece. But beyond that i would like input from this community as i really want it to portray Bitcoin in every aspect. As far as i know to date, this will be the first time in history that a Bitcoin art work makes a mark on art history on this scale as it will be traveling and exhibited with over $500 million dollars worth of art and viewed by some of the wealthiest people in the world. I think this is a great opportunity to let Bitcoin make a mark on the upscale community and bring it into their world as art but spark their interests in it as a financial tool.
Please comment with your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations below, A piece of this magnitude will take a lot of time to complete and i need to get the basic concept together soon so i can start and have it done by February 21st 2015.
Thanks to all !!
