ABOUT UNCHAINED // BY MLOW
UNCHAINED marks MLOW's entry into Bitcoin ordinals, a collection of 44 unique works inscribed over two years on Block 9 Sats. The artist's characteristic AI-generated imagery undergoes a process of dithering to meet Bitcoin's stringent file size requirements, connecting this work to a lineage of constraint-based art making that includes early computer graphics and print media reproduction techniques. Dithering, historically used in newspaper printing and early digital displays, transforms MLOW's fluid compositions into stark patterns of dots and pixels. This technical necessity becomes an aesthetic choice, creating works that exist between his established practice of surreal digital landscapes and the formal limitations imposed by blockchain technology. The resulting images compress his signature organic forms into grid-based compositions that reference both 1960s computer art and contemporary digital culture. The collection extends MLOW's ongoing investigation into technology's role in contemporary image making. Here, the artist moves beyond NFTs that reference external files to create works that exist as pure data within Bitcoin's ledger. This approach reflects broader questions in digital art about permanence, ownership, and the material conditions of virtual objects. Inscribed individually rather than as a batch release, these works document the artist's methodical approach to blockchain as medium. The slow accumulation of pieces over time mirrors the deliberate, block-by-block construction of Bitcoin itself, positioning the collection within both cryptocurrency's technical culture and contemporary art's conceptual frameworks.
