BitcoinCloud by Artistic Bokeh
BitcoinCloud is an art installation that calculates its own value, when people look visit it, it mines bitcoin, so the bigger the audience it receives, the more its worth. Its been shown at several locations and in its first appearance in 2012 it generated 42.7 bitcoins. Subsequent viewings have generated less. If its current worth is 50 bitcoins, at the current exchange that would equate to 12,000 US dollars. At the peak exchange rate for bitcoin considerably more. I met Matthias Parasew Tarasiewicz of Artistic Bokeh at Fiber festival, Amsterdam.
