Timechain #138

Timechain is the first long-form generative art collection on Bitcoin. It was created to honor Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision for Bitcoin (“the timechain”) and celebrate the launch of Ordinals.Timechain is living artwork. An animated, ever-changing hourglass serves as the focal point. A kaleidoscope of colors that allows you to visualize the two opposite sides of time: continuous and fractured.Like water flowing down a river, time is continuous. Yet we measure time in fractions: seconds, minutes, and hours. The sand falling through the hourglass is fluid and continuous, but the shadow of the hourglass remains still.Complementing the hourglass in the background are sine waves that dance in an orderly tandem with the hourglass, creating a hypnotic visual experience. But at special times — like angel number moments — the artwork bursts into a polychromatic dance, with the background waves moving in chaotic directions, representing an intersection between the dimensions of time.
