Description

8 Bit Palette, Spots, 2018.

The first transaction between two people on the Bitcoin network was sent from the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto to the late Bitcoin developer Hal Finney on 12th January 2009. At the time the ten Bitcoin sent were worthless, now they would be worth tens of thousands of dollars. This transaction represents the beginnings of Bitcoin as a social and economic rather than just a technical phenomenon.

Here the cryptographic hash, the unique identifying number, that was used to represent the content of that transaction is presented in the language of (post)modernist abstraction rather than as a string of hexadecimal numbers.
