Description

Critical new media art is based on research-based art practice. It is both research- and process-oriented, so that the final result is not “completed” works (products) but rather process artifacts. This paper describes the artistic research and development of the art-group “Artistic Bokeh”, which is developing new documentation formats, and conducting experiments about the value of artistic practice and labor. In this paper, the first Bitcoin-related Art-piece "Bitcoincloud" as well as other early new media artworks thematizing Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain are outlined.
