Trades, new work about financial markets

New images from the new work "Trades" are now visible on the portfolio website.
Trades is a group of various graphical representations af financial market data. The resulting pictures show the very high intensity of the financial activity, its flux, and some recurring patterns due to machines that now control the majority of financial decisions on the markets (algorithmic trading). Historical tick by tick trading data is used as a source to create a point cloud rendered with a specific point of view. 
Part One of  Trades series is made of 7 large size lightboxes representing the 7 last days of the Lehman Brothers stock on the US equities market from September 9 to 19th, 2008.​

Arles 2012: Hypermarket is the place.

I am really proud to participate to this collective exhibition "Digital Heritage" at the Last Hypermarket in Arles.

What is this exhibition about ?

"[...]not the digital works as a central subject but rather as a practice assimilated by many authors using photography[...]"

which is definitely the way it should be!

"Art et Architecture" Exhibition in Assens, CH.

This exhibition in the very particular space of the Assens cultural center is the second part of a dyptich about Art and Architecture.
It is also a very special experience for me since the challenge for this show was to produce work in-situ. The 3 exhibited pieces are then produced in and from the architecture of the exhibition space.

I am very pleased to be part of this exhibition along with Renate Buser, Carmen Perrin, Judith Albert, Sébastien Mettraux and, Julian Charrière.

Opening: June 18th, 18:00

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Espace Culturel d'Assens Team, and to the curators of this show, Mme Doris Wälchli & M. Ueli Brauen from the Brauen + Wälchli studio in Lausanne.
