The set Untitled #50 to #55 uses open data from the Olinda Platform of the Central Bank of Brazil to create compositions that analyze the transformations of the Brazilian banking system. In Untitled #50, the diptych shows how, starting in 2020, PIX began to surpass other payment methods, especially in the number of transactions carried out, delineating a new, more dynamic regime of capital transfer. In Untitled #51, a peak in the circulation of physical cash is observed, driven by emergency aid withdrawals during the pandemic, followed by a downward trend after the aid ended. In Untitled #52, the predominance of the corporate sphere is highlighted, signaling the transformation of PIX usage beyond personal transactions and incorporating intense business activity. Next, Untitled #53 presents a geographic distribution of financial flows that resonates with metrics on wealth concentration among Brazil's macro-regions, reinforcing the country’s structural inequalities. Untitled #54 highlights the rise of the mobile phone as the primary channel for accessing banking services, symbolizing the accelerated migration to digital. Finally, Untitled #55, using data derived from a request under the Access to Information Law (LAI), points to the worrying increase in fraud occurrences and questions the effectiveness of the PIX’s special refund mechanism.
