BITCOIN MAZE ART

Maze art explores both Art and Proof of Work as simultaneously premeditated endeavors and emergent mystery practices. Concentric circles, the framing shapes of this maze, are measured, deliberate, and pre-planned, providing a logical structuring that at once stands in juxtaposition to but also finds balance with the wandering, emotive process of the inner maze’s creation. Plume Agate, Art Deco, Mayan Revival, Greco-Roman patterning, engraved Chiang ingot money, and modern coinage are the main artistic inspirations for this work. Other notable areas of more subtle inspiration include Dharmic Mandalas, Islamic pattern art, alchemical symbology, and sacred geometry. Proof of Work, the verifiable and unavoidable expenditure of effort, is found in both the making and experience of the maze. The artist, when creating the maze, does not know where it will lead and creates, emergently and continuously, with only the sole rule that the maze be solvable. The artist is merely the hand –– while the maze, drawing from quintessence, reveals what it wills. It is a random walk of creation which cannot be fully understood or wholly contextualized until completed, if ever. And for the viewer, to solve the maze is your proof of work – Did you find the center? Which path did you take?
