Digital Workers’ Conference

Digital Workers’ Conference is a joint project by Garage Digital first season participants Anna Engelhardt, Sara Culmann, and eeefff group (Dina Zhuk, Nikolay Spesivtsev). The conference builds on and broadens the approach of each of the artists and covers topics beyond digital art, including questions of research into digital labor.

Anna Engelhardt, Sara Culmann, and eeefff describe the conference as follows:

“How is everyday work organized for people whose labor is managed by algorithms and distributed online: bloggers, artists, 3D designers, outsourcers, and couriers? As part of launching our projects for Garage Digital we, as digital artists, want to contextualize the results of our work and approach them as part of the broader phenomenon of digital production. The aim of the conference is to analyze possible ways of organizing digital labour and give a voice to the producers of the content we see on our screens.

We will try to reveal the laws behind glitchy platforms and algorithms. Which system is behind the wrong delivery time, social media posts that don’t show up in your feed, and the identical 3D-people that pack your purchases on the screens of self-service checkouts. Do glitches reflect class divisions and how does that affect the work of the influencers’ and couriers’ unions? Can we build interplatform solidarity networks, where ‘inter’ would remind us of ‘intersectionality’?”
