                            «Metabolism of Techno-Financial Worlding» is a speculative video-essay that explores the process of financialization through the relationship between financial industry, imagination, belief and the computational production of uncertainty and futures. It focuses on how Venture Capital exploits the mythological aura of technology to advance with its libertarian and technocratic agency.

This video essay, still under production, tells the story of the Venture Capital Capacitor, a device that exploits the energy of an invisible territory called Reality³ to summon techno-financial entities from the imaginary realm to the material reality.


Duration of the complete video essay: 25 minutes (approx.)
