Alongside the workshop, Jānis Garančs presents a stereoscopic installation and data visualization interface, accessible throughout the afternoon. An informal demonstration during the break before W3 creates a transition from questions of sustainable digital production toward spatial interfaces, environmental data, and extended realities.

Alongside the presentations and discussions, participating SensUs artists will share and demonstrate their AR works developed through the Canadian, Nordic-Baltic, Taiwanese, German (Karlsruhe) and other international collaborations. Selected works will be accessible for viewing and exploration during the workshop, offering opportunities to experience the artistic approaches discussed in the sessions. Further details about the showcase format and location will be confirmed.

Complexity Theatre of Financial Interfaces

Jānis Garančs

Performative financial interfaces, often used in AI trading advertisements and financial user-acquisition campaigns do not simply visualise financial activity. Through visual complexity and movement, they stage intelligence, competence, and control of the advertised system. This installation transforms these examples into autostereoscopic 3D imagery, revealing complexity as a spectacle of persuasion rather than a tool of explanation. 

Sarežģītības izrāde finanšu saskarnēs
Jānis Garančs

Performatīvās finanšu saskarnes, kas bieži sastopamas MI tirdzniecības reklāmās un finanšu produktu mārketingā, ne tikai attēlo finanšu darbību. Ar kustību, vizuālu sarežģītību tās inscenē sistēmas kompetenci un kontroles jaudu. Instalācija pārvērš AI tirdzniecības reklāmu piemērus autostereoskopiskos 3D attēlos, atklājot sarežģītību kā pārliecināšanas izrādi, nevis skaidrojuma instrumentu.
