The Black Hole of Money.
Poster design for satirical play by 0x.Salon, on the ecological effects of new technologies and crypto currencies.
The artwork was inspired by the ancient cultural phenomena known as the Axis Mundi - an astronomical, geological and mythological structure with a morphological quality that embeds itself within a geocentric comprehension of space, time, history and the cosmos.
It has been described as a tree, an infinite pillar of fire, the soul of the universe, the source of nature’s energy, the centre of the earth, the heart of sky, the milky way and sacred mountain - Meru, the Floating Continent, the House of Knowledge, the Centre of the Wheel of Time.
Above all, the Axis Mundi has always been an atmospheric phenomenon which binds the seen and unseen forces. Yet the once-mythic promise of cosmic balance now serves only to deepen the chasm between technological progress and the planet it depends on. Has the sacred mountain become an insurmountable tower, a monument to the unsustainable?
