LACE melds art and engineering to distill abstract concepts of distributed computing into an experiential demonstration of blockchain technologies. This kinetic sculpture and functioning computer network visually interprets the complexities of cryptocurrency creation on a blockchain through form and movement and, in doing so, distinguishes the technology from the hype surrounding its rapidly expanding use.
