For more than a decade, Femke Herregraven has been investigating which material base, geographies, and value systems are carved out by financial technologies and infrastructures. Focusing on the effects of abstract value systems on landscapes, ecosystems, historiography, and individual lives, her research is the basis for the conception of speculative characters, stories, objects, sculptures, sound, and mixed-media installations. Her interest in finance stems from the fact that finance and art started operating in similar ways in the late 1960s/early 1970s. During that time, the dematerialisation of money, gradually untethered to gold reserves, coincided with the dematerialisation of the art object, through new artistic practices of conceptual art. The return of language in her work comes from the premise that language itself is increasingly shaped by the dynamics of capital and technology rather than by the dynamics of imagination.
