Treida je ime združeno z besedo trade (ang. trgovati) in Tajda (mojega lastnega imena) in naslavlja umetniško delo, ki se gradi okrog spekulativnega trga na katerem se s snegom trguje kot z luksuzno surovino. Njegova vrednost se preučuje z modelom ponudbe in povpraševanja, kar pomeni, da manj kot je virov, večja je vrednost. Delo je sestavljeno iz dveh digitalnih delov - videa, ki spremlja uporabnika spletnega trga Treida in interaktivne projekcije. V videoposnetku lahko opazujemo vplivnost učinkov globalnega segrevanja na vrednost snega, ki se izkazujejo z analizami izmeritev ali z globalnimi diskurzi. Opazimo lahko tudi, kako mediji, ki sledijo znanstvenemu soglasju ali teorijam zarote o globalnem segrevanju vplivajo na obnašanje vlagateljev. (video 2)

Vrednotenje snega, pripovedno predstavljeno v videoposnetku, je abstraktno prikazano z interaktivno projekcijo pokrajine, ki jo je mogoče interaktivno raziskovati (video 1).

Po zamisli modeliranja ledeniških dolin je antarktiška dolina, ki izhaja iz avrhiva platforme Google Earth v procesu preoblikovanja z infografikami - umetnimi ledeniki, katerih rast poganja naraščajoča vrednost snega. Ker se sneg v naravi topi narašča tudi vrednost moje zaloge. Sčasoma bodo ledeniki preoblikovali dolino, saj bodo svetovni viri tega materiala postali dragocenejši in redkejši.

Treida is a name combining the words trade and Tajda (my own name) and refers to an artwork built around a speculative market where snow is traded as a luxury commodity. Its value is examined using a supply and demand model, which means that the fewer the resources, the greater the value. The work consists of two digital parts—a video that follows a user of the Treida online market and an interactive projection. In the video, we can observe the impact of global warming on the value of snow, as demonstrated by measurement analyses or global discourses. We can also see how the media, which follows scientific consensus or conspiracy theories about global warming, influences investor behavior. (video 2).

The valuation of snow, presented narratively in the video, is abstractly represented by an interactive projection of the landscape that can be explored interactively (video 1).

Based on the idea of glacial valley-shaping, the Antarctic valley, originating from the Google Earth archive is transformed by artificial glaciers. They take a form of infographics whose growth is driven by the increasing value of snow. As snow melts in nature, the value of my stock also increases. Over time, glaciers will reshape the valley as global sources of this material become more valuable and scarce.
