This work retrieves the fluctuations of the British Pound against the US Dollar from a foreign exchange site every three minutes, representing each rise and fall through the symbol of an “arrow.” Our lives are surrounded by numbers: birth rates, or the number of infections during a pandemic. We find ourselves swayed by these fluctuations, becoming subordinate to the data as it acts as a switch that toggles our emotions between joy and anxiety. In this process of “signification,” the heavy reality of individual lives is stripped away, reduced to a mere abstraction of “increase” or “decrease.” What meaning remains when numerical data is replaced by a symbolic arrow? This work explores the precarious relationship between our daily lives and the numerical signs that govern them.
