Resonance in a shared upheaval
Materials: Sample of edition data from KnownOrigin (V2 & V3, 2018–2022) filtered to almost 200 artists who use COVID-related concepts in at least one edition description (virus, COVID, coronavirus, lockdown, etc.).
Details: Data are presented on sinusoids, with each wave line representing one artist's wallet. Dots are editions released, and the horizontal extent in white represents an artist's time on platform. Four sine cycles are used, representing KnownOrigin's approximately 4-year history. Red triangles are editions with virus-related concepts in their description. A spike of these is visible at the date corresponding to spring 2020, and this "infection" is visualized across various waves of creators up to spring 2022. JPEG, 15,000 x 15,000 pixels, 20MB.
