How Will We Work?

https://ail.angewandte.at/explore/exhibition-view-how-will-we-work

What kind of ‘work’ will you be doing in 2030? What kind of ‘worker’ will you be? Today, we are in the midst of numerous heated debates around the future of work. Sensationalist headlines such as ‘Robots to get human rights’ or ‘Welcome to the three-day working week’ have already entered our everyday lives.
This exhibition endeavours to capture a discourse that’s in progress. Everyday new articles, research and experiments are coming out that push the boundaries of our expectations, hopes and fears around the future of work. The heady mixture of anxiety, opportunity and complexity that surrounds this subject area makes How Will We Work a potent space for critical thinking, and investigation. From precarious working conditions, to self-actualisation, alternative economies and Industry 4.0, this exhibition aims to lead a discussion on radical changes to the way we define and think about the role of work.
