MINING PROTOCOL ACTIVE - PERFORMANCE ART EXECUTION An NFT that literally mines Monero cryptocurrency while you view it. This piece transforms viewers into unwitting cryptocurrency miners, contributing computational power and energy to mine privacy-focused Monero (XMR) directly to the artist's wallet. Built as recursive commentary on digital labor extraction disguised as aesthetic experience. Technical Details: * Real WebAssembly-based Monero mining (throttled to 25% CPU) * Self-contained HTML with embedded animated background Background: Features XCOPY's iconic red/blue pill imagery - a symbol of crypto "awakening" and choosing decentralization over traditional financial systems. The recurring pill motif appears throughout XCOPY's work, including the Grifters collection, as commentary on deception and exploitation. Concept: Inspired by Patrick Amadon's Export Control series (embedding encrypted computer viruses in NFTs), this piece asks: what if instead of neutralized historical malware, the art actively extracts value from every viewer? The red pill promised liberation from the Matrix of central banking. But what if the red pill was just another layer of the Matrix? Performance Art Statement: Every viewer contributes electricity, computational cycles, and mining rewards while experiencing the work. The art isn't the visual - it's the economic relationship. Digital sovereignty meets digital extraction. The Matrix was always mining you.
