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