United Nodes completed sheet #1/21 features the artwork from my 2021 @BTCvsFED billboard campaign which brought Bitcoin awareness to working class neighborhoods in all 12 Federal Reserve Bank cities.

This aqueous pigment inkjet print on arctic polar luster paper is the larger (12 bills vs 3 bills) of two sheet editions of 21. The print is signed, numbered w/ actual fiat and includes a black, double-sided metal float frame. The 99% UV protected, anti-glare masterpiece acrylic allows viewing of both sides of the artwork. There are numerous references to Bitcoin terminology and culture - some more apparent than others. My educational augmented reality collaboration with artist Josie Bellini functions on the piece as well. The remaining prints have sold out.

About the artwork:

The front of United Nodes of Bitcoin was created in 2015 and proved a popular educational tool while on exhibit at my 2016 solo show The Revolution Will Not Be Centralized. Attendees gravitated toward the reimagined dollar iconography which bridged discussions about our broken financial system and this burgeoning movement.

After completing the back side of United Nodes, I wanted to once again use the artwork as a Bitcoin teaching tool, but go bigger. While formulating a plan, COVID struck resulting in quantitative easing on an unprecedented scale. This focused my efforts and @BTCvsFED was born. The billboards directed people to a thread detailing how endless money printing affects them personally via inflation and a growing wealth gap.
