Abacus is a digital artwork that displays and reinterprets financial information in real time from the main stock indexes, among them Dow Jones, Nasdaq, FTSE, DAX as well as data from cryptocurrency and foreign exchange market. The artwork reformulates the perforated ticker tape which was the main financial communication media since the end of the 19th century. The quotations from each index appear like stripes intertwined, turning into the warp and weft of a fabric that never ceases to change.
