Special Economic Zone (Artonomics #11)
LED screen installation, bamboo, 2008

Special Economic Zone, also known as Artonomics #11, investigates the rapidly changing Chinese economic condition by providing realtime calculations from live data about Chinese markets. This more cliched trendiness towards consumable economics, popularized by Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt’s book, Freakonomics, is applied to standard LED screen signage found in many hospitals and government buildings in China. The display is futuristic, raw, and a reminder of the huge scale differences China has with the rest of the world.

特区”又称“ 学#11”，通过提供中国市场的实时数据来探讨中国经济快速变化的状况。这个关于可消费经济俗套的时髦，在Stephen Dubner和Steven Levitt的《魔鬼经济学》一书中得到普及，作品把这个概念运用在中国医院和政府大楼常见的LED屏幕显示器上。显示方式是未来的、粗糙的，并提醒着中国与世界其它地方的不同之处。
