Animation of individual Python-processed video frames based on drawn shapes and recorded time-lapses PAC AN3Y Shape Variant is a visualization of active and searchable Bitcoin nodes over the past three years. PAC AN3Y Shape Variant visualizes the evolving structure of the Bitcoin network through layered geometry. Organized into three vertical columns, larger squares overlap smaller ones to represent annual snapshots of active nodes from 2023 to 2025. A cloud timelapse runs across the composition, underscoring the accelerating pace of technological change in the crypto space, faster than most can follow. Plotting Against Centralization is the overarching series, which traces the rise of Bitcoin across the globe. Set against hostile financial, regulatory, and political forces, these algorithmic visualizations turn precise data into quiet acts of defiance — data art hidden in plain sight.
