“BURN” — One of two museum-grade, LED-backlit lenticulars featured in the Fiat Prison exhibit by Sir Gadfly. Inscribed 1:1 on Bitcoin as a native Ordinal, the piece includes a recursive musical score and over 2.5MB of on-chain data. Shown here: the hooded
A first in Bitcoin art history: One-of-a-kind lenticular installation paired with an Ordinal inscription. Only two exist—one will be auctioned.
These LED-backlit lenticulars (18" x 27") shimmer with depth and glitch-driven motion. As viewers move, the physical art shifts—revealing themes of rebellion, obedience, and resistance. Each is paired with a Bitcoin Ordinal—a digital artifact permanently inscribed on Bitcoin’s base layer, distinct from Ethereum-based NFTs.
A groundbreaking hybrid, each piece blends physical and digital. The on-chain frames, stored as recursive Ordinals, shift when mobile viewers tilt their devices. On desktop or display, a coded animation mirrors the effect. An interactive on-chain musical score amplifies the emotional pulse.
Together, the works form a complex recursive inscription series, encoded on rare Block 9 450X satoshis, mined in Bitcoin’s earliest days.
OBEY depicts a glitch-bound knight trapped in obedience.
BURN portrays a hooded rebel sparking revolt under surveillance.
“This isn’t an NFT,” says Sir Gadfly. “It’s a visual ghost—an artifact alive on Bitcoin’s blockchain.”
Only two exist:
– BURN remains in the artist’s private collection.
– OBEY will be auctioned in Q3 2025 via a leading Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace.
The winner receives both the physical lenticular and its Ordinal.
The Fiat Prison installation invites visitors into a symbolic jail cell to explore digital confinement and unlock exclusive collectibles via QR code. Photo ops and giveaways—including signed prints—deepen the experience. But the art remains the focus: rare, recursive, and timeless.
Sir Gadfly is known for Break Me Free (inscribed on a Block 78 satoshi mined by Hal Finney) and glitch collections h00dlums and RECC0DE. He’s credited with:
– Merging animated lenticulars with Bitcoin Ordinals
– Creating interactive, Bitcoin-native experiences through recursion
– Using Bitcoin as a canvas for truth, beyond its role as currency
Collectors can explore Gadfly’s latest 1/1, F!3T of CH403, live on Gamma.io—a glitch-charged tribute to Bitcoin’s spirit.
Bitcoin Ordinals are booming, with a projected $4.5B market by late 2025. Fiat Prison proves they’re not just thriving—they’re shaping the future of digital art.
