A simulated still life using realtime cryptocurrency data to give financial investment a physical presence.
‹This Guy› uses realistic CGI (today’s modern day still life) to give the often obscure Cryptocurrency market a physical presence. Sitting as if for a painter to sketch while contemplating the zeitgeist, ‹This Guy› expresses discontent with himself and his environment. Surrounded by a picturesque beach and depicting the ‹easy life of white male privilege›, the stones floating above his head respond to the Crypto market’s real time data. This expresses a world which can economically raise above or crumble below, causing the anxiety of existing in our current age.
