“On January 22nd, 2011 I started my activity as consultant for the World Bank. For the lapse of ten days, as director of the Time Notes Bank and chairman of Psychoeconomy, I was working, at the headquarters of the bank in Washington DC on new approaches on the international financial crisis and prevailing monetary exchange systems. The following material compiles my impressions, reflections and questions that arose during my research and residence in the US capital"

This is how the text of the report (edited as an e-book) begins, which is composed of two parts: the first, in the form of a logbook, includes photographs and annotations of the experience lived The second, which is the heart of the consulting report, are 10 open questions to the president of the World Bank.

My daily visits to the bank allowed me to glimpse some facets of its inner workings, exchange views with my (temporary) co-workers, give an illustrative lecture on the services provided by my bank, set up a Lost Time Refund office in the lobby and project my own bank's commercial spots on the windows of the main entrance to the building.

Installation of the project My 10 days as a consultant for the World Bank and the piece PWRT (The Psychoeconomy War Room Table) at ArteBA, Petrobras Award 2015.

As a consequence of the experience at the bank, I have subsequently developed PWRT (The Psychoeconomy War Room Table), an interactive table that allows to visualize the relationship between two or more countries in the world according to their economic-social variables and the flow of capital. PWRT is based on the metaphor of the War Rooms tables, or situation rooms, where information is displayed and possible tactical moves in a civil or military operation are discussed. The data used by the PWRT are those provided publicly by the World Bank through its web site.
