Where the money is made – Surfaces of algorithmic capital
Eline Benjaminsen

Today, artificial intelligence and algorithmic technology allow trading firms to operate faster than is possible for our human abilities. The locations depicted in Eline Benjaminsen’s video are not places that we would readily associate with high finance, yet this is where some of the biggest profits are being made today. In her work, Benjaminsen documents the resolutely physical landscapes of an immaterial market and questions the limits of a system that generates profits and value at speeds imperceptible to the human brain.
