A experimental orchestral project in Brazil is preparing to convert the real-time price trends of Bitcoin into live musical performances. The project has recently been officially approved in Brazil to raise funds from the private sector according to the cultural reward system, and plans to hold live performances in the federal capital. The entire concept combines art, mathematics, economics, and physics, attempting to let the audience experience the fluctuations of the cryptocurrency market through 'hearing'.
Official approval is in place, and the cultural reward system is officially launched
This project in Brazil has passed technical review and is approved to raise funds from businesses and individuals according to cultural reward regulations, with a maximum amount of 1,090,000 Brazilian Reais (approximately 197,000 US dollars). Donors are entitled to tax deductions in accordance with the law.
Official documents indicate that this is a string performance, and the fundraising period must be completed before December 31, with relevant classifications also affecting applicable tax incentive methods.
The design of the performance method converts price data into music in real time.
The plan mentions that the performance will use algorithms to track Bitcoin price changes and related technical data in real time, converting these financial values into musical score instructions, directly influencing the melody, rhythm, and harmony.
During the performance, the orchestra will play live based on real-time market data inputs, allowing price fluctuations to be transformed into sound layers, thus presenting the auditory profile of Bitcoin's high volatility. Officially released content did not clarify whether blockchain or on-chain infrastructure will be used during the performance. It is expected to be held in Brasília, the federal capital of Brazil.
This project is also seen as a continuation of recent artistic experiments that use cryptocurrency or real-time data as creative material.
The precedent set in 2020, where Bitcoin prices became a creative engine.
In 2020, a team engaged in programmable digital art in San Francisco, USA, launched a work called (Right Place & Right Time). This work, created by artist Matt Kane, changes its visual appearance in real time with Bitcoin price fluctuations.
The work is released through the Async Art platform, structured by a 'main screen' and multiple independent layers, where each layer adjusts in proportion, rotation angle, or position based on Bitcoin market trends, making market data a part of the work.
AI and data art run parallel, with market and environmental data serving as material.
In a similar creative direction, artist Refik Anadol has long created immersive visual works using AI, algorithms, and large datasets, transforming environmental data, historical archives, and other information into continuously evolving images.
In recent years, he has launched several NFT projects, including the (Winds of Yawanawá) NFT series in collaboration with the Yawanawá indigenous people of the Brazilian Amazon in July 2023, combining real-time environmental data with traditional cultural elements to develop generative digital works.
