Fri entré
An evening with performance, music, poetry, sounds, images and research.
Economic stress under wage earning has been abolished. Machines and AI have taken over dirty, heavy and tedious work. Money and social injustice are banned. All the technological resources of humanity can be used to reset the global economy to harmonize with ecology. Free citizens can spend their time in leisure practicing, music, art, and poetry. Visions of the future are already here.
But is it a utopia that we are seeing materializing around us or a dystopia? What will happen to people when nobody wants their labor? Does there already exist a firm border between those who have a job, with all that it entails of social and economic benefits, and the people that are on the other side of the fence- the people that have to sell their work by the hour, and who in practice are modern slaves under apps and SMS. Is everything for sale? Can you sell voluntary labour?
During this evening, these issues are further developed through artworks by Work-a-work.
One of each, Karin Hansson. One of each is the process of creating a group based on differences rather than shared interests. An encyclopedic sound and text-based work performed by Lily Bigestans and Karin Hansson.
