Artwork Description

PAC CA6Y Turquoise Variant
 is a visualization of the Crypto Art, Assets and NFT transaction volumes (cloud density per circle, adjusted) by year from 2019 to 2024.


This artwork series celebrates the global adoption of Bitcoin through visualizations based on meaningful data. Each ch(Art) references specific growth metrics embedded in the title, with cloud forms representing the expansion of these values. PAC CA6Y traces the rise of crypto assets, including NFTs and digital collectibles, over the past six years. The circular forms nod to the “bubble” metaphor often associated with the 2021 NFT boom. Their arrangement also evokes the double six domino—the highest tile in the game—symbolizing the record-breaking NFT sales achieved by living artists during that period.

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.
