about

May 6, 2010. Against a backdrop of street protests and violent clashes in Athens, Greece, result of the approval of European-backed austerity measures and socio-economical policies aimed at preventing the country's default on loan payments, a Flash Crash (2.32—2.57PM) wipes a trillion dollars from US stock markets.
Half a decade later, a trader called Navinder Sarao is arrested in London, UK and extradited to be prosecuted in the US for causing the crash. He’s accused of inflating the financial markets and profiting from it, thus triggering a domino reaction, by trading with hacked software from his home WiFi connection and PC.

May 6, 2018. The artist collects wireless network data from the original location and in the same time-span of the trading activity that caused the Flash Crash eight years earlier. Alongside US Stock Market trading data for the day, this information is translated into sound and accompanied by the live commentary from the trading pits and the sound recordings from the riotous streets of Athens. A sonic battleground that echoes an unprecedented moment in history.
