What if pixels were free? What if they could trade their computer-given red, green, and blue values in pursuit of a profit?

The Colour Economy imagines an artificial economy of pixels, in which individual 'traders' exchange colour.

In this pixel performance, the seed image creates a region in the bottom right which is wealthier than the regions surrounding it.

The Colour Economy is a project by Jer Thorp (blprnt.com) and was built with Processing v. 0135.
