OTO’s art blends tech and design fluency. Many of his works include interactive elements, inviting viewers to shape the experience. Art at the edge of blockchain and visual storytelling. More on his work --> https://linktr.ee/ordinalmimi).
WORK POLYLITH is a long-form generative artwork on Bitcoin that explores time, perception and the flow of change. Time runs backward here, from Block 8,400,000 to the Genesis Block, with each block revealing a new “page” in an evolving visual story.
POLYLITH asks: What does it mean to observe? Each click reshapes the artwork. The cube-based lattice shifts in structure (1×1 to 7×7 and back again) echoing the idea that perception changes reality. It’s not just what’s there. It’s how you choose to see it.
On-chain data drives the visuals: – Transaction size & count shape glitch density – Movement of inscriptions alters textures – Inscription size behaves like mass, affecting how the artwork changes In POLYLITH. Inscriptions are more than records, they define the piece.
Built using live endpoints (block height, tx data, inscription traits), it updates with every Bitcoin block. Inspired by Josef Albers & Bauhaus geometry, it’s retro-futuristic and minimal but loaded with symbolic weight. The “Lith” cube is both building block & timekeeper.
COLLECTION Being a meditation on permanence and impermanence while interacting with machines, POLYLITH is made possible because of Bitcoin, ephemeral in perception, yet sustained on-chain. Ever-changing. Ever-consistent. Just like the human experience.
