The Market

 

The Market is an Internet-connected swingometer sculpture. A kinetic display has a base, and an elongated member pivotally attached to the base in the manner of a seesaw. A processor communicates with a data source such as the internet, obtains current values of dynamically changing data (such as the current value of a stock market index), and pivots the elongated member in response to changes in the data. Figurines which symbolize the monitored data, such as a bull and a bear (representing rising and falling stock market values), are respectively provided at opposing ends of the member. By observing the inclination of the elongated member, and/or the relative positions of the figurines thereon, a user can determine the current status of monitored data.

The Market has been market proven. The initial Series A run sold out and garnered rave reviews from the press and customers:

 

The Market Series A kinetic sculpture would be a jaw-dropping adornment to any big financial honcho’s desk, as well as a novel way of reminding him or her how the markets are faring.

In addition, The Market was featured on Investor Junkie’s Top Holiday Gift list for 2019, as well as The Week and Materialist Magazine.

Suffice it to say, this is a popular product with proven market appetite..
