Project description
Strategies for an Auction is a speculative sound installation, consisting of six agents, which bid in an auction to win the right to play a sound. Similarly, advertisers participate in automatic real-time bidding (RTB) to win the right to show an ad. The work directs attention to processes which are usually kept hidden by advertisement platforms. Since these aspects are not publicly documented, the artist speculated on the specifics of the implementation.
