"Now that we can do anything, what will we do?" (Bruce Mau)
Will tomorrow work like today? For the exhibition #Labour of the Day we developed an installation that focuses on the notion of “work" at a time in which knowledge, education and production methods are more than ever accessible to everybody. While these technologies offer us the tools to fully develop ourselves, they also increase pressure on the individual to perform.
With the abundance of choice and opportunity, how can we keep our focus? How does it affect our way of working when professional and private, education and diversion blend into each other and are all just one mouse-click away?
An analog measuring installation visualizes the abundance of choices we have today. Through questioning current ambitions you can literally explore your work-field and reconfigure a personal balance between the things you want, can or need to do.
