Financial Locations (Global Mash Up)

director: Thomas Kutschker

original title: Financial Locations (Global Mash Up)

year: 2015

running time: 5 min.

synopsis

This pictorial collage of places in the real and virtual worlds, shown in promotional spots that should lure the investment of presented companies or countries, or on the phone in company cars, is imagined through the fragmentariness of quick transactions and the necessary divisions of macrodata. The exploratory visualizations, full of numbers, data, and partial commentaries, create an engaging mini-essay on financial influence and its representation.

DETAIL:
This journey through game worlds emphasizes the gamification aspect of virtual operations in the financial sector.
