Crypto Space Pioneers Installation

Crypto Explorers is a design of a potential cryptocurrency art installation that I may create in the next few weeks for the Maker Space at Ethereal Summit in New York.

Crypto Space Pioneers is my proposal for the Ethereal Summit Maker Space, May 11th and 12th, 2018:

Stack 5 card stock panels into a tower 4.5' high, with 2 additional panels on the wall. See attached illustration which shows 7 panels. Each panel will be 18" x 24". If card stock is not thick enough to stand upright with 2" slots to stack the levels together, then foam core will be used.
Draw on the panels the design of a spaceship shaped like a Klein Bottle with blockchain puffs of rocket blasts which (obviously) propel this ethereal vehicle through space. This shape represents a stretching of the mind into new frontiers, which is exactly what the blockchain/cryptocurrency art space also does. Not coincidentally, the Klein Bottle shape is also an inspiration for the flagship design of a crypto artist's collective called ArtProject Decentralized. The artist is a member of this group.
Concurrent with this event, release a color cartoon version of this design as a rare blockchain card in a limited edition of 200. This will be issued on the Bitcoin/Counterparty/Bitcrystals blockchain, accessible via the Book of Orbs app in the CrystalsCraft collection... unless a suitable Ethereum-powered rare digital art solution that is currently open to new art issuance is identified in time.
Post to Dada.nyc, Twitter, Steemit, YouTube, Facebook, Linkedin, and Instagram a photo or drawing promoting this installation/event.
Give away a total of 10 of the digital blockchain cards to attendees who have the appropriate digital wallet (5 given away each day) to receive the blockchain card. To be eligible for this giveaway, attendees must also like/upvote the relevant social media post about this art installation and show a screenshot of this act to the artist.
Have the area lightly populated with 1 inch paper origami cubes on the floor, arranged in rows of 4 cubes, as a simple representation of blockchain.
Encourage attendees to sketch on these paper cubes and post photos of their addition to the cubes to Steemit or other social media if they do not have a Steemit account.

I believe this blockchain art installation will be compelling to create and raise awareness about the opportunities now available to digital artists due to these disruptive technologies and new communities forming as a result of the emerging crypto space pioneers.

Please let me know in the comments below if this is a design/proposal that you would like to see built in-person.
