Video now online! Jen Liu's The ghost in the machine is me.
Missed the talk with Jen Liu about her multifaceted GHOST_WORLD project, which proposes an intrinsically paradoxical task: to represent electronics workers through the digital imaging technologies that are designed to erase them, bridging the distance between labor and consumer through location-based AR? A recording of the lecture has now been uploaded to YouTube.
Watch below as Jen and Xiaowei R. Wang also address some of the overlapping themes in their respective works: the domination of the biobody through personal tech, the invisibilized logistics of racial technocapitalism, and the complex histories of community atomization and exploitation through automation.
Check out the video, which includes captions, here!
