A Bitcoin Ordinal art collection that contrives 1,750 editions in 22 lava colors as grandchildren of the first world peace emoji inscription on bitcoin, (#152930). Each edition has multiple parents including the first lava lamps that were experiments on bitcoin ordinals protocol in 2023. Each have poems and haikus wtih themes surrounding the freedom of art on bitcoin as a medium of expression. The title of this exhibit is called the Wall of Entropy due to the technical and security nature of the use case of companies like cloudflare and silicon graphics who use a wall of analog lava lamps in a room with a camera pointed at them to generate random number sequences as part of a security layer in key generation for protecting and safeguarding some of the internets backbone infrastructure and DNS servers. This is way to permanently and digitally recreate the same wall of entropy using 22 unique colors displayed on 22 LED displays or on a jumbotron. During the daytime, the backdrop color is bright and vibrant, and at night time local time, the colors change to a dark room backdrop. Each lava color has a different poem written in the html comment code, including some of the unique 1 of 1 parent lava lamps. As an artist who collects lava lamps in real life, I wanted to share them and permanently preserve them for the future of humanity to enjoy just as we first did during the 20th century. Analog lava lamps do not last forever. This collection of lava lamps will last indefinitely as long as the bitcoin network is alive.

The Future of Humanity Experience
explores how technology is reshaping the human experience by blending digital and physical artworks from global artists into a tangible vision of the future. The experience highlights the potential for human enhancement, where the organic and synthetic not only complement one another but sometimes merge, illustrating how humanity can transcend its current boundaries.

Through diverse artistic perspectives, the show critically examines the risks, ethical dilemmas, and challenges posed by technological progress. This exploration is framed through three distinct lenses – Animasapiens, Transhumans, and Starborns – and offers an invitation to delve even deeper. Learn more here.
