Volatility Smile 3

Philip Vanderhyden is an artist living and working in New York. The title Volatility Smile comes from the financial world, describing a smiley face that appears inside of a pricing graph at moments of great instability and irrationality. Volatility Smile blends together the languages of the casino, trading floor, dance club and heroic fiction to create an environment that acknowledges and contrasts with the Federal Reserve’s specific architectural mood.
