SET

SET by Rutger van der Tas — Launched on Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025 A generative, time-based artwork reflecting the decline of the U.S. dollar and the rise of Bitcoin, inspired by vanitas symbolism. Synced to real-world data (BTC, gold, time, location), each edition plays out in one of the four symbolic cities: • Hollywood - spectacle of American dominance • Beijing - China’s rising economic force • Paris - Europe’s evolving trade identity • Rio - BRICS momentum and the Global South SET bridges centuries by blending hand-drawn layers, AI, and code with CC0 artworks from the Dutch Golden Age and leading cryptoart movements—Nouns, CrypToadz, Mfers, XCOPY—fusing cultural past and decentralized future. Permanently stored on Arweave. SET is CCO 1.0 — a memento mori for financial empires.
