Tuesday, 30. Jan 2024, 19:00 CET @ panke.gallery, Berlin

Figure it Out is a collective exploration of stories of ingenuity that 
people with little or no power devise when systems fail them. The 
evening at panke.gallery is focused on the inginuity of workers in the 
global gig factory. Particularly on tactics the workers on platforms 
such as Microwork, Amazon Turk or Upwork based in the Eastern Europe and 
the Global South contrive to fake their location or presence to 
cirumvent scant pay, surveillance and control that is frequently not 
expected from the gig workers in the Western Europe and the Global North.

The upcoming event Ghost Workers focuses on practices of resilience in 
remote work systems and on platforms. Aleksandra Lakić [1] will be 
introducing her and Saša Savanović's research on the socio-economic 
situation and labor conditions in platform economy in South Eastern 
Europe. Researcher Max Haiven [2] will present his recent collaboration 
with rank-and-file Amazon workers to write and publish short, 
speculative fiction stories about 'the world after Amazon.' The 
subsequent bonfire storytelling is an invitation to participate in a 
collective reading of stories of such practices we have gathered and to 
contribute your own first-hand or second-hand stories and thoughts. We 
intend the reading to be convivial, spilling over into a shared meal.

Part of transmediale & CTM Vorspiel 2024.

love!
