Åracle

Åzone Futures Market was the Guggenheim's first online exhibition: a platform where visitors bought and sold futures on near-future products. Åracle was its physical counterpart, a mechanical terminal inside the museum.

I worked on the hardware, software, and sound. The terminal pulled visitor trades, live news feeds, and market trends from the platform's database and turned them into physical output: a live market overview and an exhibition catalog printed in real time from the latest activity. Keeping a mechanical device in step with a volatile online market meant handling data robustly, with no dropped requests or stalled printing.

Åracle was shown in the Åzone Terminal space at the Guggenheim in New York.
