Sensoriums for the Ephemeral — Gamification of Values
28th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA 2023): Proceedings 2024
Jānis Garančs

This paper introduces the author’s current practical investigations, during the creation of a series of audio-visual installations and VR environments, ‘gamifying’ time-sequenced changes of multiple values, e.g., from financial data feeds. The work series critically reflect upon gambling tendencies in the global trading of various, increasingly immaterial assets. Algorithms and emotions of greed, euphoria, and despair meet in virtual scenery, where almost everything can be offered as a fungible and non-fungible token for exchange and trade. The project proposes speculative variations of dystopian “hybrid organisms” representing macroeconomic value exchange as a symbiotic relationship that competes for humanity’s attention and involvement.
