Influenced by concrete poetry and early computer art, the artist has designed a painting system that converts hash values on the blockchain into text-based art similar to the works created by early drum printing.The artwork strongly emphasizes the interactivity of spatial installations, allowing the audience to influence the generative process and outcome of the work. This interactivity gives the artwork a unique live experience, making the audience part of the creation and showcasing the changes in technology and nostalgia for the good old days.
