In an unprecedented collaboration, the Financial Times, Nikkei, and Rhizomatiks present the "Future of Money", a sleek, well designed video set to original music showing money's evolution from primordial stone currencies to today's digital cryptocurrencies. Using exclusive data from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, the piece shows the astounding amount of energy cryptocurrency mining consumes, which is equivalent to a medium-sized nation's consumption. More than a mere data visualisation, the film reveals cryptocurrency's transformative influence on art, and can be watched as a live video installation or online film.
