Financial charts converted to computer-generated 3D wooden sculptures

A reader writes, "Berlin-based Artist Andreas Nicolas Fischer has completed a pair of financial data sculptures. One sculpture compares the world gross domestic product with the world derivatives volume as a statistical map cnc-milled in wood. The other piece shows the 3 main stock market indices in 2008 as a sculpture consisting of 150+ laser-cut wood polygons."

Fundament, Indizes

I'm sure Gordon Way would be very interested in this.

Hello,

Funny I am myself creating some works inspired by financial markets that I called TradeArt. The Japanese candlesticks of stock prices are converted into wooden and copper candles.

Thanks you Toadkiller - that's what I was coming for...

The second piece pictured does more for me than the first, I think maybe it's the flat-plane it's built on. The second seems to be much mroe alive.

This can be used for blind financier, for example.
