EXHIBITION : ANTIDATAMINING
RYBN 2006-2009
Antidatamining is a series of visualizations of financial data extracted from the web. Economy is represented by its main agents - companies, groups and holdings, stock exchanges, banks and investment funds - and their interactions : capital relationships, geographic deployments, structuralization on market places. Beyond the current crisis, its mediatic and polictic levers, Antidatamining is a permanent monitoring device, which aims to highlight the structure of the contemporary economy, seen as a complex dynamic system.

Their axis of research : the construction of a "convergence semantics", through the coupling, the diversion and the perversion of writing and formalization tools connected to communication, information and sensory technologies - networks, data flows, smell, surveillance, audiovisual, interaction, real time.http://www.rybn.org
