BitMing is a multi-layered art project exploring the increasing digitization of daily life, ancestral worship and the value attribution of art, currency, and cultural tradition.
BitMing is an artist’s cryptocurrency tradable on Waves.Exchange that imagines a digital and environmentally friendly alternative to the burning of spirit money or joss paper.
Putting the Crypt into Crypto
Still polluting the environment and damaging your health by burning wads of spirit money?
Introducing BitMing, the new spirit cryptocurrency for the afterlife.
BitMing is a digital asset hosted on the Waves blockchain.
Not only is BitMing a modern solution to ceremonial offerings for ancestors, but as it’s part of a permanent immutable ledger, you can also reap the benefits long after you’re dead!
BitMing Deluxe
BitMing Deluxe is a series of physical artworks featuring interactive BitMing animations. A tablet is enclosed in a combination-lock flight case, allowing convenient transportation to temples or burial sites. With the swipe of a finger the user can burn their BitMing to nothingness, before the image re-spawns afresh.
