Block 840,000 is the 3rd piece made for the Halving blocks series. Like the other two, The Genesis cube and 210,000 Block, the composition is solved based on a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional cube. The digital world itself and the non-material form of everything connected to it is confusing enough for the human mind, which has evolved for millennia solely in matter. The main reason for people's widespread misunderstanding of Bitcoin is rooted in this. It cannot be seen, touched, smelled hence we cannot even imagine it. With the Halving blocks series I am recreating this missing link between the digital and the material.
In my mind, every block should have a particular astral form, as every physical body is supposed to have. This shape in my imagination would be similar to the shape of a snowflake. "Although snowflakes are never perfectly symmetrical, the growth of a non-aggregated snowflake often approximates six-fold radial symmetry, arising from the hexagonal crystalline structure" This shape is precisely the two-dimensional representation in space of a three-dimensional cube. The number 6 is embedded in the foundation. Each block is similar to the previous one, but they would never be exactly the same, since they would never contain within them exactly the same transactions, which actually define the "shape" of each block. The references to the similarity to some parts of the 210,000 block speak to the universal interconnectedness of the block chain, just as the micro-environment (and its changes) are very nearly identical around the snowflake, each arm tends to grow in nearly the same way. However, being in the same micro-environment does not guarantee that each arm grows the same.
Three of the corners feature a Merkle tree, with information regarding block 840,000 shown above each of them. The bottom left corner represents the Merkle root of the block, the top central the Hash of the block, and the bottom right the number of the block, the newly mined 3.125 Bitcoins, the date on which the block was mined, the creation date of the artwork, and the name of the arstist. In the center, the letter "B" is symbolically represented as a 9 step pyramid without a vertex, a reference to one of the most important features of Bitcoin as a technology. Due to its decentralized nature, the technology has no leader who decides from the top. The pyramid is enclosed by a vortex structured of hexagons, as a reference to the fractality of the surrounding world including the invisible one. The circle symbolizing infinity, filled with a vortex of hexagons, is closed by a hexagon itself, whose structure resembles that of the flower of life. Sinking down towards the centre of the composition suggests to us the depth and complexity of the technology. The flower of life has many spiritual meanings including oneness, unity, connection, and unanimity. These are the messages that Bitcoin has brought to the world. Bitcoin is not just a technology, it is an idea that has breathed spiritual growth into humanity through the understanding that there is something very broken about the fiat system we were born into. Bitcoin is an idea, it is not an expression of how many dollars you have on the blockchain. Bitcoin is oneness, we are constantly connected to each other through our nodes, and we are always unanimous.
