Bitcoin from a Stoic Perspective by @Kontext
"Bitcoin (a 21st century digital currency), and Stoicism (an ancient strain of philosophy which dates back thousands of years) surprisingly - or perhaps unsurprisingly - have a lot in common. What unifies these two subjects is not only an underlying ethos of work, discipline and self-responsibility, but also reliance on the laws of nature to provide the framework on top of which we can realize - both in the sense of understanding and manifesting - reality."

"Timeout" is a multimedia artwork completed by the artist as the winning proposal for the Open Source Culture Creator Contest #1. Here's what the author had to say about it:
"The animation (in the .mp4 file) was created from approximately 115 pics (lasting less than 20 seconds) that were taken in quick succession as I physically shuffled paper objects around a blank page of an open sketchbook. The art itself was created from a few colored construction paper scraps, the ink of a black sharpie pen, some scotch tape and a few choice subjects from my kids long neglected crayon set.
The music was recorded in my home studio. I play the drums, bass, synthesizer and guitar on this short piece. I also recorded the sounds of a household timer being wound and ringing out..."
