Analysis – The Bitcoin Bull

The Bitcoin Bull is a piece of moving artwork that shows the pieces of a bull tearing apart and then coming back together. The Bull is made from different things that look like they have been cut and pasted from different forms of media. There is a bitcoin symbol and twitter logo that are seen when the bull is in movement. The Bull then starts breathing and kicking up dust and scrapes it’s foot along the ground. The colours are quite bland but a diverse range of different shades of similar colours. Finally a man is seen to pull apart the bull and draws the outline of a bull when it is suddenly brought back together.
