Hardly Working
Ein plastisches Bild der Arbeit in Zeiten des Kapitalismus, gezeichnet anhand der Arbeits- und Lebensrealitäten von NPCs, der digitalen Statist*innen in Games.
An ethnographic exploration of the realities of non-player characters in video games. Their loops, patterns and bugs paint a vivid analogy for work under capitalism.
