TRADES (2013)
Inspired by the fall of Lehman Brothers, the commercial bank, as a consequence of the credit crisis, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond created graphic representations of the data from financial markets, including those from the final seven days when shares in Lehman Brothers were traded. TRADES reveals the intensity of the financial world, in which recurring patterns appear, caused by the algorithms which represent the largest proportion of financial decisions, today initiated by computer programmes. In addition Bernard-Reymond used historical tick by tick data – high-speed share trading oriented to producing a high volume of small profits.
