PAC AN6Y Monochrome Variant is a visualization of active and reachable Bitcoin nodes (based on cloud volume, adjusted) by year from 2019 to 2024.
This artwork series celebrates the global adoption of Bitcoin through data-driven visualizations. Each ch(Art) references specific growth metrics embedded in the title, with cloud forms representing the expansion of these values. In PAC AN6Y, the cloud’s size reflects the number of active, searchable Bitcoin nodes, a crucial indicator of a network’s strength and decentralization. The more nodes exist, the more resilient the network becomes, especially in the face of regulatory pressure or bans, as seen in countries like China.
Plotting Against Centralization is the overarching series, which traces the rise of Bitcoin across the globe. Set against hostile financial, regulatory, and political forces, these algorithmic visualizations turn precise data into quiet acts of defiance, data art hidden in plain sight.
