Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium
A real-time stock market data-driven planetarium conceived and developed by the artists Joshua Portway and Lise Autogena.
Thousands of companies from across the world are represented as stars that flicker and glow as shares are traded on various stock exchanges. The brightness and duration of the glow indicates the volume of trading activity, and the stars slowly drift in response to the complex movements of capital in the markets. My role on this project was Chief Programmer, responsible for the design and implementation of most of the software.
The installation was exhibited at Nikolaj contemporary art gallery, Copenhagen in 2004, as part of the Big Bang Data exhibition at Somerset House, London in 2015, and at the ArtScience Museum, Singapore in 2016.
