Jānis Garančs

This paper briefly describes the author’s current practical investigations, during the creation of etude series of audio- visual installations and VR environments, algorithmically extrapolated from the time-sequenced changes of multiple values, e.g., from financial data feeds. The work series criti- cally 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 fungi- ble and non-fungible token for exchange and trade.
