#OpChangeTheWorld2 🌎 Bitcoin is now in the art industries
Bitcoin has recently seen greater exploration and adoption from the art industries. Bitcoin has been making headlines in the arts industries in recent weeks, with many high profile representatives of the arts either accepting bitcoin as a means of payment or producing works that explore cryptocurrency conceptually.
June saw a number of artistic representations of cryptocurrency make headlines, with Los Angeles-based artist Matthias Dorfelt's ' Block Bills ' also enjoying coverage from both arts and cryptocurrency media outlets. In recent weeks, a high-profile UK art gallery has announced that it will accept cryptocurrencies, a painting has been purchased by a Hong Kong collector using bitcoin, and multiple art exhibits have sought to visually represent virtual currency.
A contemporary art gallery located in the UK, announced this week that it will offer buyers the opportunity to purchase art using bitcoin, ethereum, ethereum classic, ripple, litecoin, or dash. The gallery's owner, Eleesa Dadiani , hopes that accepting cryptocurrency payments will open up the arts industry to “a new type of buyer”, stating that “Cryptocurrencies will provide a bridge from the elitist, centralist fine art market to a decentralised open-source world where many more will be able to become a part of this exhilarating market.” Dadiani also believes that greater adoption of bitcoin within the creative industries comprises a significant step towards mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency.
Mexican artist, Antonio Vega Macotela, has also recently explored cryptocurrency through art, with his installation ‘Mill of Blood‘ currently being hosted at Germany’s largest art fair, Documenta 14. Reuters reports that Mill of Blood seeks to examine “the global economy and humanity”, and encourages audience members to “push a wheel on the ‘Mill of Blood’ that produces a metallic coin and a digital bitcoin.”

Ahhh Y3aH!!!
Very good to hear.
I'm glad to see the art community is embracing crypto-currency to invite the new type of buyers because its rare that folks attend art galleries any more. On a personal note, I enjoy attending them but its far few and in between. This art/crypto combo brings the art to the person in a sense, because not all people have immediate access to a art gallery the way they have access to crypto. Smart move I'd say.
