Description. Bitcoin Clock

Dalí said "From the middle of life onwards, only the one who is prepared to die alive remains vital." To make the transit of this stage kinder I began to investigate the concept of TIME, but to give some entity to something so abstract I used learning to give meaning to my works of art.

In the universe of information, I discovered "The Immortal" by Jorge Luis Borges. One story led to another, his books piled up and I even accumulated literary workshops of "Borges and Time" and "Borges and infinity".

At the same time I fell into the Rabbit Hole with very illuminating, enriching and inspiring information from Robert Breedlove and Dergigi. When ideas are collected, mind maps are created that are breeding grounds for creativity. Dergigi's article "Bitcoin is Time" was the seed that germinated when I read Borges' poem "The Hourglass." Thus, the "Bitcoin Clock" poem arose as a tribute to Satoshi. I could have generated a poem only with the information of Bitcoin is Time, but having used Borges' Hourglass is intentional because it is also a tribute to him.

Leonardo da Vinci is a referent as the maximum expression of the combination of science and art. I wanted to draw or paint on the subject, but I was absorbed by literature and concepts. He also winked at me with his phrase: "Painting is poetry that is seen and not felt, and poetry is painting that is felt and not seen."

The idea of the poem was an instant, the first draft took a few hours, the polishing a few days and the concreteness a few months. But the process took years over the study of time, money, art, and bitcoin. For progress to be meaningful, it requires energy, but above all, time, as proof of work.

This is the first digital poem in a series of 10. 21 would be the most obvious number, but 10 is more relevant because it is associated with the time, the 10 minutes of mining each block. Vires in Numeris, Pondus Verborum.

When Borges visited Egypt, he took a handful of sand, threw it a short distance away, and said, "I'm modifying the Sahara." With this poem and its record hash, we are modifying the blockchain forever.
