Screen Matters – The Screen as a Place of Work
The online symposium Screen Matters – The Screen as a Place of Work directs its focus on the different screens surrounding us, as well as the working environments that can be found on and behind their surfaces. Being the basic infrastructure of this symposium, the screen will not only function as a space of production, presentation, and communication, but also as the subject of theoretical and artistic investigations. Playfully examining the possibilities of a pre-recorded virtual symposium, Screen Matters experiments with different forms of audiovisual artistic research. Together with our guests, we will discuss the ways in which users and workers are being bodily and cognitively exhausted by those forms of “screen work” and at the same time search for possibilities in order to oppose these often invisible ways of capitalistic extraction.
With works by Ingrid Burrington, Anna Caterina Dalmasso, Eva and Franco Mattes, Lauren Lee McCarthy, Elisa Giardina Papa, Laure Prouvost, Dorothy R. Santos, Axel Stockburger, Anna Witt
