Bitcoins heart beat every 25,000 blocks
Will keep adding and increasing the block frequency to this animation on the run up to 1,000,000 blocks.

Really like how the Epoch bar is currently sitting and spaced at the bottom of the illustration.
I originally had this spaced really tightly on the physical art works drafts like a bar-code but I had to increase the width for the web tool to make it legible.
I think this style might find its way onto the artworks 😏

"This is information,
The proper use of it can bring a new dignity to mankind,
Properly related, it can maintain a balance between mans needs and his resources,
In many aspects these are information machines,
Capable of storing, processing and relating a vast quantity of information.
They process information, so it can be made meaningful at the human scale..."
Clarity lets information resonate...
Always admired the Eames ability to communicate complex/abstract topics with such clarity.

Epoch bar added to highlight where we are in relation to the schedule of all halvings
32 halvings,
33 Epochs ending sometime around the year 2140
This level of detail already features on the physical artworks,
now translating across to the web tool to add more depth

Thinking of adding a drifting block mode that allows randomly selected blocks to drift in and out.
If you have a large digital display, let it run in the background. You will have (currently) 902836 beautiful blocks as artworks appearing on your display over time.
Live Block stream currently refreshes to the latest block however random drifting mode allows you to explore blocks all over the chain

Everytime I open drawingbitcoin.com I'm always curious to see how the latest block is going to look
Sometimes I'm blown away...

Exciting update. I’ve translated the visual programming script I created to visualize blocks into a web based tool to visualize, compare and contrast blocks in real time. Now live for you to have fun with.
Works better on desktop, simplified version for mobile.
Transactions within blocks are plotted at log scale with a radial distribution based on btc transaction size. Up to two blocks at a time can be visualized and compared. Interesting insights into blocks can be seen instantly.
Currently powered by the
api and would like to self host soon. Also a proto-type so excuse the bugs and might get a bit laggy if overloaded!
This tool was originally created for myself to create physical art works of blocks and I’ll be launching work on the platform soon where physical art works will be available. More updates soon on this.
Excited to share this and tagging in again all the bitcoin artists who have inspired me along the way on this project. Especially @TC
whose work and recent conversations helped push this to the next level.
Have fun with the tool and hopefully this will inspire more bitcoin art and visualization!

With time and Ngu, more on chain transactions are pulled towards the centre as lower and lower btc transcation dominations are the trend for the majority of uses in the network
