A Brazilian experimental orchestral project is preparing to convert the real-time price movement of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) into live music performances. The project has recently been approved by the Brazilian government and can raise funds from the public through the cultural rewards system, with plans to hold live performances in the federal capital. The entire concept combines art, mathematics, economics, and physics, attempting to allow the audience to experience the fluctuations of the crypto market through “hearing.”
Official approval in place, the cultural rewards system is officially released.
The project in Brazil has passed the technical review and is approved to raise funds from businesses and individuals according to the cultural rewards regulations, with a maximum amount of 1.09 million reais (, approximately 197,000 US dollars ). Donors can enjoy tax deductions in accordance with the law.
The official document states that this is a string instrument performance, and the fundraising deadline must be completed before December 31, and the relevant classification will also affect the applicable tax benefits.
The performance design method converts price data into music in real time.
The plan mentions that the performance will use algorithms to track Bitcoin price fluctuations and related technical data in real-time, converting these financial values into musical score instructions that directly influence the melody, rhythm, and harmony.
During the performance, the orchestra will perform live based on real-time market data input, converting price fluctuations into sound layers, thereby presenting the auditory aspect of Bitcoin's high volatility. The official announcement did not specify whether blockchain or on-chain infrastructure will be used during the performance. The performance is expected to take place in Brasília, the federal capital of Brazil (Brasília).
This project is also seen as a continuation of the recent artistic experimental route of “using encryption or real-time data as creative material.”
In 2020, the precedent was set as the price of Bitcoin became a creative engine.
In 2020, a team in San Francisco, USA, engaged in programmable digital art, launched a work called “Right Place & Right Time.” The piece was created by artist Matt Kane and changes its visual appearance in real-time with the fluctuation of Bitcoin prices.
The work is released through the Async Art platform, consisting of a “main screen” and multiple independent layers. Each layer adjusts its proportion, rotation angle, or position according to Bitcoin market trends, making market data a part of the artwork.
AI and data art run parallel, with market and environmental data becoming materials.
In a similar creative direction, artist Refik Anadol has long been creating 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 July 2023, in collaboration with the Yawanawá indigenous people of the Brazilian Amazon, combining real-time environmental data with traditional cultural elements to develop generative digital works.
