흥미로운 프로젝트가 있어 소개합니다.

문화사회적 암시를 지닌 창의적 프로젝트를 진행하고 있는 'Prosthetic Knowledge'가 소개하는 이 이미지/프로그램은 컴퓨터 코드와 경제의 관계를 암시하는 이미지들로 구성되어 있습니다. 예술과 다른 방면의 요소들이 어떻게 융합되어 진행되는지에 관심있으신 분들은 꼭 참고해보시기 바랍니다.

The latest in an ongoing series of themed collections of creative projects assembled by Prosthetic Knowledge. This edition takes a look at creative projects and cultural implications that emerge from the meeting of computing culture and economics.

It's interesting that the etymology of the word "economics" goes back to the Greek oikonomikos, meaning "practiced in the management of a household or family," "frugal" or "thrifty," especially considering the term's modern-day association with big capitalism. On a small or large scale, economics has always been concerned with the distribution of wealth and the management of resources, and its principles can therefore be applied in a range of other fields. For example: In the mid-70's, the subject entered into dialogue with the biology (such as Gary Becker's paper "Altruism, Egoism and Genetic Fitness: Economics and Sociobiology" and "Economics from a Biological Viewpoint" by Jack Hirshleifer), where resources such as fitness, energy, disease, or environment were studied in an economic framework.
