Artwork Description

PAC VV4Y Black Variant is a visualization of the remaining versus issued Bitcoin supply following the fourth Halving, contextualized by the USD value recorded at each of the four Halving milestones.

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. In PAC VV4Y Black Variant, the black rectangle symbolizes Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million, while the white circle represents the remaining unmined bitcoins, now just a fraction. Four clouds mark the USD value at each halving, showing how Bitcoin’s price has surged even as new supply steadily declines. This inversion highlights the deflationary design and growing demand embedded in the protocol.

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.
