Snowman

SVEIN FLYGARI JOHANSEN
Oslo
Video, remix, 2009

The video is managed by the oil prices that are delivered in real time via Internet from Reuters, via their live market service.
The video is stored on the hard-disc and reacts continuously to the market prices on the raw oil from the North Sea. The video shows a snowman, which is melting down quite fast when the oil price goes down, and is growing back when the price goes up. Should the price decrease drastically, will the snowman melt to the ground and then start growing again, but now as a black negative image, and vice versa when the price zooms up.
