The work stems from thoughts around the artwork as container/ generator of value and Beuysian ideas of the artwork as a repository for energy. At the same time there is a nod to the early ideological era of cryptocurrency and the extreme velocity of technological obsolescence (most cryptocurrency mining today happens in large mining farms rather than this sort of home setup) and therefore also a parallel to minimalism and its use of relics of already outmoded industrial production.
