Derivart / Hipotecadoria (Hipotekarni dužnik)

descriptions of exhibition works





Programme selection: Wealth of Nations

Our work is located at the intersection between art, technology and finance. We conceive art as an exploration avenue to help us reflect and understand the social practices stemming from new technologies. Just as industrial production and mass media defined bureaucratic capitalism during the second half of the 20th century, we believe that the interactivity promoted by the computer revolution and new media are leading to new forms of social organization in contemporary times. We are interested in exploring those new organizational forms.

In the past three decades, the capital markets have been a leading adopter of digital interactivity. With the creation of electronic markets such as the Nasdaq in 1971 and Bloomberg terminals in 1981, Wall Street had its own Intranet two decades before other industries. Nowadays, electronic markets have replaced the traditional face-to-face exchanges in almost all of Europe. In this context, derivart examines social change at the beginning of the 21st century by focusing on interactivity and new media in the capital markets.
