"-162 Trading Power is a research project that explores the unique relationship between Qatar and Japan. The project focuses on the LNG trade between the two countries, and its impact on their economies, cultures, and lifestyles. The project resulted in two exhibitions, one in Tokyo and one in Doha. The exhibitions featured a kinetic installation consisting of an array of 40 printers that were programmed to print text and images extracted from the internet and synthesized into graphic compositions.
