Abstract:
What Joseph Beuys envisioned as the ideal society for humans is now taking place with computers on the Internet. An extension of the concept of art (Erweiterung des Kunstbegriffs) in this project relates to man-made computers and data networks. Electricity has already driven the honey pump’s electric motor, pumping honey. The same electricity is now pumping data around the world via computers and the Internet. For this project, relevant data is picked up from the blockchain production and used to generate new images. An extended *honey pump* for Joseph Beuys’ 100th birthday?
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the crypto currency Ethereum, chose the term ether because it stands for a hypothetical invisible medium that penetrates the universe and allows light to travel. Ether is a very volatile medium on earth. The images created here are just as fleeting, they only remain on a screen for a few seconds or are visible as a projection.
The connections between the worlds of Joseph Beuys & Vitalik Buterin are shown in a diagram.
Technology:
Blockchain technology is based on the fact that a first block consisting of 64 characters, the Genesis block, is repeatedly appended with new blocks consisting of 64 characters, creating a chain, a blockchain. The best known is the Bitcoin blockchain. It was invented in 2009 by a ?ctional person named Satoshi Nakamoto. Vitalik Buterin’s new Ethereum blockchain creates a new block of 64 characters every 10 seconds. She is the data provider for this project.
The ImageMachine consists of several computers, one of which is a cloud computer at AWS, on which several programs written for this project run. It is online 24/7 and is supplied with data by the Ehtereum Blockchain. It uses the 64 characters of the "latest block" to calculate abstract images in PNG format. For this project, one block per minute is used for image production. That’s 60 an hour, 1440 a day.
