The stock market chart as data is designed on screen, fabricated by digital means, and precisely tracked through space and time throughout its daily sojourn. It is shaped by lego, a consumer product uniformly manufactured in massive quantities, using a planned division of labour and rapid, non-artisanal assembly-line techniques supported by highly reliable transportation, finance and information systems. That system makes you create skyscrapers in a generated way, by analyzing numerous speculations that generate major changes in the stock market, and by reducing them into a certain number of essential, geometric and common forms. By means of assembling simple forms as lego (contradictory to the stock market’s complex inner approach), not just a complex form of visualization is built but a certain configuration of what can be seen and thought thorough the numerals parading on the market’s screen is constructed.
Lego is the ultimate toy to train young undeveloped brains for the stock market which will make them a more wealthy, skillful and sophisticated businessman when they grow up.
The edifice has 12 floors, every floor illustrates a month, and every month has 12 legos, chosen through that month’s actions. Each of the twelve charts is simplified in twelve major actions.
The whole system is composed of one flat lego surface of 100 units, five different “money raiser” legos ranging from four to twelve units, five “risk controllers” illustrating the stable actions in the market, having four to ten units (these 5 lego piece units are in a linear position, thus they don’t tend to help stabilize the construction, but insure it), 5 “great depression providers” and 2 market crashers.
