---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Krystian Woznicki <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 10:45 AM Subject: [bgcon] "Algotaylorism" To: <[email protected]> Hi, writer and curator Aude Launay – who has been member of the bgcon network and participants in Berliner Gazette conferences for some years now – has curated an exhibition and an accompanying series of talks about the future of work in what she calls "a growing algorithmic Taylorism". The title is ALGOTAYLORISM and it takes place at La Kunsthalle, Mulhouse (F), Feb.13 _ April 26 2020. And there is more to come. The teaser reads as follows: “In the past the man has been first ; in the future the system must be first.” wrote Frederick W. Taylor in The Principles of Scientific Management in 1911. From his scientific management of work to Amazon/Uber/Deliveroo’s algorithmic management, the evolution has mainly been technological, while on the ideological level, one notices rather a continuity. What is work in the globalized digital age? On the one hand, a growing algorithmic Taylorism—the extreme division of labor among clickworkers—and, on the other hand, a persistent machinic illusion—many tasks thought to be performed by computers are in fact performed by human beings in a more or less concealed way. In the age of algorithmic management, what about performance measurement and worker optimization tools? Also, in what is now called the “attention economy”, it is not anymore only workers who work: any online activity is likely to add to the capital accumulation of the internet giants through its commodification. All data is monetizable. Every internet user is profitable. Being online = working?
