About the WAG
Due
to our needs that seem to be increasingly handheld, WAG was born on
2009! The Widget Art Gallery is a mini single art gallery room fitting
into people's pocket. Every month, the WAG hosts a solo digital art
exhibition related to its dynamic site-specific context. So the WAG
works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and also
as museum conserving all the past shows inside an online archive that
creates a permanent collection.

"Flashcrash Unlimited" by Fabio Lattanzi Antinori.
The
artwork is the condensed representation of the last few minutes of the
US stock exchange prior to the infamous flashcrash of May 6 2010. The
looped animation stands as an ironic reminder of the thousands yet
smaller flash crashes that have made their appearance on the financial
market; its rough two-dimensional aesthetic, in stark contrast with the
pristine realistic background of the WAG white cube where it is
displayed, is reminiscent of the flat world of Big Data and algorithmic
trading.
Fabio Lattanzi Antinori is an italian artist based and
working in London. His work mixing a range of mediums, as: sculpture,
print and interactive installations, examines the language of power and
control of corporate systems and its effect on the belief systems of the
individual.
