Anna Engelhardt, Sarah Kulman and Eeeff about the conference:

How are the everyday life of those whose work is controlled by algorithms and distributed online -blogger_ok, artist_i, 3D designer_ok, outsourceur and courier_ok? As part of the launch of projects made for Garage Digital , we, digital artists and artists, decided to contextualize the results of our work, examining them as part of a wider phenomenon - digital production. The conference of digital workers sets its own task to analyze the ways of organizing digital labor, giving the floor to those who create content that we see on our screens.

We will try to identify the patterns of constantly buggy platforms and their algorithms. What system is behind the wrong delivery time, not highlighting posts on social networks, the same 3D loves that fold products on the screens of the self -service cash desk? Does the failures have a class stratification, how does it affect the work of trade unions influentes and courier_ok? Can we build Interpopeling Co-Lidarism, where the prefix “Inter” reminds of the concept of “intercovement”? ”.
