Experimental artwork by Lucho Poletti.

Fiat Pyramid v3 is a captivating animated video artwork that features a series of nine distinct levels, each displaying four unique sides textured with AI-generated imagery.

Each level of the pyramid is separated by a visually striking effect of burning dollars that float between them, symbolizing the destruction of value and fragility of the fiat currency system.

The animation creates a hypnotic loop, emphasizing the never-ending cycle of monetary creation and destruction, as well as the endless pursuit of wealth and economic growth.

The burning dollars add a dynamic and somewhat unsettling element, pointing to the decay and loss inherent in debt-based fiat money systems. This detail invites the viewer to reflect on the transient nature of wealth and the combustive forces of inflation or financial crises that can rapidly devalue currency.

Overall, Fiat Pyramid v3 is intended to offer a rich visual commentary on the complexities of the financial world, marrying the beauty and craftsmanship of fiat currency design with a poignant reminder of its ever-decreasing value . It stands as a thought-provoking symbol of the ceaseless churn of the financial markets and the cyclical rise and fall of fortunes.
