KOLBEINN HUGI HÖSKULDSSON
The pilgrims travel vast distances
to bathe
in the industrial waste
that powers the cryptomines

Immense energy resources
that produce
an abstract, intangible
digital currency

In a joyful ritual pilgrims paint their faces white
with the silica substance
which summons
the precious cryptocurrency
into being.

This true, but surreal setting is the launchpad of the piece which will launch an ethnological exploration into a post-colonized nation's distant past, all the way into a neo-cryptocolonial scenario of a deep possible future.
