The Chain is crypto-art. The Chain is an art chain of Ethereum-based NFTs artistically and cryptographically linked together. A new block on The Chain is an NFT artistically inspired by the previous block and cryptographically linked to it. 

The Chain is therefore a mix of an Exquisite Corpse and Chinese Whispers on a cryptographic continuum. The Chain is visually a never-ending chain of artworks and cryptographically a continuous string of hexadecimal characters of the SHA-256 hashes of its blocks.

The Bitcoin Mining Dude


In this piece, the Dude is virtually giving a "life" to the process behind the bitcoin mining algorithm.

During this loop, every steps are made salient by a specific move.


In the lower right, is the mempool. Here it"s literally a Meme Pool, with rare pepe cards inside validated transactions, like fishes waiting to get caught.

The miner gathers the transactions, hash them and dispose them near the block hes assembling. Then he hashes all the transaction merkle root tree into one main hash.

Note that the future block contains something already : the hash of the entire previous block in the bitcoin chain.

Once the transactions hash is in place, he checks the clock, greets Satoshi Nakamoto with deference, and create the block timestamp.

Right after that, he needs to solve the block difficulty. He does it by starting the nonce iteration. This will help him finding the correct hash for this new block.

Once found, the lucky Miner lifts the block and receives the block reward which he stores it in his wallet. The solved block is hashed and added to the chain.

The Dude keeps a copy of the hash and starts all over again forever.


As a modern-time chain worker, the Bitcoin Mining Dude is focused. Both feet on the bitcoin mining code, hes acting under a binary sky, which is the transcription of the Abstract paragraph from the Bitcoin Whitepaper. His whole body is dedicated to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

But    there    is    a    more    radical    gesture!    What    if,    to    be    certified,    a    painting    had    to    include    a    screen    displaying    a    NFT    to    become    a    whole    object,    authentic    and    certified.

Freak Show is a group exhibition featuring 13 artists curated by Ganbrood & Georg Bak. The forward for the exhibition is written by Kenny Schachter.

Freakshow

Am I weird, strange, sexually deviant, or eccentric? My whole adult life Ive been referred to as crazy. And worse. As Rick James sang in 1981, Im a super freak, a super freak. Im super freaky (was he ever). In actuality, Why is it that anything (or anyone) out of the ordinary is ostracised, marginalised, made to feel like a pariah? Thinking differently should be encouraged and affirmed but is often viewed as a red flag pigeonholing those that dare to dwell beyond societal norms as aberrant. Human comportments of all stripes should be celebrated, as long as youre not responsible for someone ending up in scraps hidden under the floorboards.

When people or phenomena deviate from the norm, the tendency is to push away, criticise, and dismiss, rather than encourage unorthodox approaches to the status quo; which could usually benefit from a swift kick in the ass, that especially rings true in the art world. Change is essential to rupture states of complacency and to establish new paradigms in art and science. Its a shame that contrarian behaviour is so readily perceived as threatening and deleterious instead of embraced. This is precisely analogous to the traditional art worlds knee jerk reaction to crypto art.

There is a long history of Freak Shows also referred to as Odditoriums which dates back to mediaeval times, where people considered physically unusual were put on display like caged animals. Exhibiting those with deformitiesextreme diseases and conditionsas objects of interest and entertainment is barbaric and sadistic (especially by todays standards), but had been routine for hundreds (and hundreds) of years.

The same could be said for those of us that think in an atypical, nonconformist manner. We are dismissed as specialsignifying a degree of mental malformationand menacing in an increasingly homogenous, conservative society; which is, in fact, scarier than all of the nutters I know combined. Consider this a clarion call to fight the fear, let your guard down, and, as Missy Elliot sang, Get Ur Freak On!
