A non-descripted steel structure called Monolithic and Drab, as a retail poultry farm, is less than two miles from the airport of Reykjavik in Iceland. There is also an inner deafening racket, but it's not a clucking-chickens strategy. As an option, the deep, detailed calculations for the preparation of payment cryptocurrency and the insertion of them into the general public memoir visible as a ledger, comprised of tens of thousands of whirring GPUs. Together with six wide ceiling mills poke with collective force from 360 washing machines, a total bunch of thousands of followers blows refrigerated air to keep machines from overheating.

Enigma is the loudest environment British photographer Lisa Barnard has ever captured the power created by Genesis Mining in 2014. Two years ago, she explored her project Bitcoin while taking pictures. "The main element I sleep without is the sound, light blinking, and plumbing," states Barnard. "It was like being a computer internally."

The high-tech barn seems like a planet that has flowed away from the geysers, water cascades and lagoons every 12 months inspiring 2.3 million tourists but is as powerful as any of these in Iceland. The Nordic Islands crosses the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and meet with North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, forming a volcanic terrain, which is surrounded by glacial rivers and is covered by precious aquamarine lakes.

Hydro-electric reservoirs and geothermal stations use ample waters and underground warmness to make cheap, novice electric power, making it easier to verify the energy-intensive path for crypto-currency transactions, known as mining, as miners are compensated with freshly mined and highly volatile ' cash. '

So, she went to Svartsengi, after taking a picture of Enigma, also to establish geothermal energy (which gives the Blue Lagoon accepted by cryptominers energy and water) and other thermal sites. She had a virtually tangible link to the earth's inner workings, "both unsightly and beautiful at the same time," she said standing above ethereal, exploding swimming pools. Several decibels under the crypto-digital waves, which they were weirdly and probably inextricably bound together, steamed and hissed the sulfur-smelling liquid.
