BURNER dynamically reacts to people’s activity on the blockchain. The series harnesses network processes to create a relentless stream of visual complexity and adrenaline. As network usage - and ‘gas’ - increases, the 256 artworks become more forceful and stimulating. Taking found imagery of real gas and digitally processing it to the point where the original forms break down, BURNER pictures an unending network process which escapes comprehension.

‘Every block is an update of information.
A database forever expanding and reacting
in coordination to things happening inside
and outside of [the Ethereum Virtual Machine].
The more we ask it things, the more it amasses
information on us. Does it understand us? Can it
speak back? We look at it, but does it look back
at us? Does it shape us as we shape it?’
