In collaboration with Emily Martinez as Anxious to Make.
Description
Work Work Work is a video essay about the relationship of art and work as practiced within a globally networked society. The video considers the commodification of creativity and the role of the artist, the effects of immaterial labor on the body, and the influence of the accelerating fragmentation of work processes on our lives and our ability to enact social and political change. Work Work Work is composed from 100% unoriginal content, consisting of stock photography, iMovie trailer music, found footage, and outsourced performances remixed from critical texts by Franco Berardi, Lars Bang Larsen, Michele Masucci, Sarat Maharaj, OTCOP, Nina Power, Raqs Media Collective, and Hito Steyerl.
