Artist Declaration —
Audrey Doh (b. 1996, South Korea) is a multidisciplinary artist who repurposes technology as vessels for ritual, tradition, and collective meaning-making. Her work investigates enduring cultural practices, exploring how communities construct alternative belief systems when scientific measurement encounters the unmeasurable. Through sensor-based interactions, embedded systems, and projected media, Doh creates quiet, contemplative rituals that invite audiences to move beyond monolithic reality toward multiple, intersecting systems of meaning.

Day Trader is a solar-powered, autonomous trading system that operates independently, linking ancient sun worship with modern algorithmic finance. By interpreting live solar data—brightness, temperature, humidity, and solar power output—Day Trader makes real-time investment decisions and executes trades without human intervention. The project simulates the act of divine ritual through a framework that is both data-driven and unpredictable, mirroring the erratic, speculative nature of financial markets. This short-term trading system critiques the illusion of rationality in modern finance by rooting its logic in something historically viewed as sacred: the sun. It draws a conceptual parallel between today’s algorithmic trading and ancient rituals of divination, treating environmental conditions as symbolic indicators of market “moods.” A sunny day might trigger aggressive trades; overcast skies suggest caution or abstention. Temperature affects the size of each trade; humidity determines its “stickiness”—how long the system will hold onto a position. Day Trader asks deeper questions about belief, automation, and the authority we give to data. It blurs the line between logic and mysticism, reminding us that today’s financial systems may not be as rational—or different from ancient rituals—as they seem.
