Stock Exchange Piece (Gold & Light Sweet Crude Oil) (2007)

The Stock Exchange Pieces are transpositions of rates and index of the Stock Exchange to sine waves, with simple substitution of units. The rates fluctuations determine the swings of resulting frequencies. The sine waves move about, converge or move away from each other, mirroring oscillations of the Stock Exchange and thus generating acoustic phenomena in their movement – sonic transcription of a flow.
