Game Art: Jay Zehngebot's "Bitcoin Statcraft: Data Rep in Minecraft" (ongoing)
A while ago we spoke to Jay Zehngebot, an artist based in Providence, Rhode Island, who is creating some of the most exciting game-related projets today. Consider his latest experiment, Bitcoin Statcraft (BTCSC), a dynamic Minecraft environment generated using realtime bitcoin market information. The project was developed by Zehngebot with MineCraft1.6.4, Bukkit, Scriptcraft, Arduino, Processing 2, and MineCrift, inspired, among others, by Scott Patterson's Dark Pools and Joshua Davis' 2011 essay in The New Yorker, "The Crypto Currency".
