/8 Being one of the most relevant artworks on the BTC-blockchain, it is not to be forgotten CENTS stands on shoulders that deserve recognition. @shibboleth88 wrote this great article on CENTS’ predecessors:  https://t.co/ncmUikfHTw

7/8 This copper block was 3D-scanned and inscribed as a 4MB ordinal, taking up all of Bitcoin block #839969. CENTS becomes a permanent digital sculpture. An immovable archive of value, scarcity and symbolic decay cast onto the blockchain forever. 🧱📦

6/8 10,000 copper pennies were removed from circulation, documented and each image inscribed as an ordinal on 10,000 satoshis. The physical coins? Smelted into a single 68-pound copper block—an irreversible transformation from money to monument.

5/8 CENTS explores value through the humble copper penny. Once essential, now dismissed as worthless. But pre-1982 cents, made of copper, are worth ~3.1¢ in metal. CENTS questions this gap between symbolic and material value. 🪙

4/8 @sovrnart values artistic processes, meaningfully constructed serial collections, substantial narratives, structures that uphold the principles of sovereignty and decentralization and creators who advance the space. CENTS being definitely an example of this.

3/8 Mr. Chang sadly passed away this January. @shibboleth88 and @VanArman pay tribute to his work by taking care of the legacy of CENTS with @sovrnart, an independent and artist-first platform.

2/8 Rutherford Changs post-conceptual projects include a collection of 3,417 copies of the Beatles's 1968 album (WE BUY WHITE ALBUMS) and one of around 4,000 ink-dot portraits from The Wall Street Journal, put alphabetically into a yearbook-style publication (The Class of 2008).

1/8 This special one simply had to be a part of the Copernicus Collection: CENTS #2269 by Rutherford Chang in cooperation with @sovrnart

8/8 POLYLITH is a meditation on permanence and impermanence in digital art. A continuation of OTO’s earlier work Monoliths, it’s art made possible because of Bitcoin, ephemeral in perception, yet sustained on-chain. Ever-changing. Ever-consistent. 🌐⏳

7/8 Built using live endpoints (block height, tx data, inscription traits), it updates with every Bitcoin block. Inspired by Josef Albers & Bauhaus geometry, it’s retro-futuristic and minimal but loaded with symbolic weight. The “Lith” cube is both building block & timekeeper.

6/8 On-chain data drives the visuals: – Transaction size & count shape glitch density – Movement of inscriptions alters textures – Inscription size behaves like mass, affecting how the artwork changes In POLYLITH, inscriptions are more than records, they define the piece.

5/8 POLYLITH asks: What does it mean to observe? Each click reshapes the artwork. The cube-based lattice shifts in structure (1×1 to 7×7 and back again) echoing the idea that perception changes reality. It’s not just what’s there. It’s how you choose to see it.

4/8 POLYLITH is a long-form generative artwork on Bitcoin that explores time, perception, and the flow of change. Time runs backward here, from Block 8,400,000 to the Genesis Block, with each block revealing a new “page” in an evolving visual story.

3/8 OTO’s art blends tech and design fluency. Many of his works include interactive elements, inviting viewers to shape the experience. Art at the edge of blockchain and visual storytelling. More on his work --> https://t.co/zhXAwUmVEr).

2/8 Let’s meet OTO, a Japan-based digital artist whose work spans from minimal graphic design (Ordinal MIMI Series) to cutting-edge generative art. Since 2023, he’s been creating directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, captivated by the potential of Ordinals technology. 🟧🎨
