Mosaic By BitArt

Residency Program

What if Bitcoin has been generating art all along, and we simply haven't learned how to see it?

The Mosaic reveals that Bitcoin's blockchain contains an embedded visual language, waiting to be decoded. Every transaction, every UTXO, every individual satoshi carries visual information encoded within its mathematical properties. This isn't art imposed upon Bitcoin. It's art discovered within Bitcoin's existing structure and data.

The Mosaic's machinery is a program that assesses the context of data semantically without valuation to highlight hidden layers of bitcoin through the lens of human intent. By reading and presenting the already present data, this machinery makes visible this obscured visual layer of Bitcoin transactions through sats and UTXO variables to create the natural shapes, patterns and colours of Bitcoin not previously observed. An archeological exploration reveals the layers previously obscured by the financial focus of transactions into a shifted lens where interpretation of the observer is a collaborative act of human intent. Nothing is drawn, it is accumulated algorithmically and mathematically, it is what emerges from the raw data, creating a new language. Data exists, visual language translates and human intent creates new meaning.

To activate human intent, community members contribute Sats as a collaborative crowd-sourced effort to build a generative mosaic. Each satoshi is a tile, and those accumulated build each inscription - for example when 10,000 satoshis are sent then 10,000 tiles are created which results in a 100x100 tiles. Participants send Sats through a launchpad to obtain a generated output of mosaic inscription which will be integrated as a coordinate from a larger digital Mosaic.

When someone sends satoshis to the Mosaic address, they execute a collaborative creative act without traditional artistic tools.

Their agency expresses through:

• Amount of sats selected determining the scope of their visual contribution
• UTXO composition influencing the specific satoshis and their visual properties
• Economic participation becoming cultural participation

Each participant becomes:

• Sat contribution minimum of $10 to create a tradable mosaic inscription which will be sent directly to each contributors wallet, which in time will be utilized to build the larger collaborative Mosaic
• Sats sent to redeem the generated piece and coordinates of the mosaic inscription which assemble into a larger crowd-sourced and collaborative Mosaic
• More sats sent, the more unique the coordinate and generated output potential

By confirming your transaction to contribute to the Mosaic purchase by BitArt, you agree to sending a preset sat amount through the presale interface, and you understand that your output will not be immediately generated, and instead will be processed and airdropped at a later date. Responsibility for ensuring data submitted is correct including the receiving wallet address is held by the purchaser. You may provide your email address, which is optional. During the presale, sat minima are available through preselected amounts. For possible custom 1:1 contribution amounts, contact directly via a DM through Bitcoin Art Society's X account. There will be an opportunity for custom sat contributions in future following presale closure and the contribution dashboard interface is released. You acknowledge your generated inscription output coordinate will be used in a crowdsourced build of a larger collaborative Mosaic.
