Víctor Muñoz Sanz & Maarten Kuipers - Useful Life by Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee published on 2018-06-06T12:22:29Z This series of dialogues explores the multi-faceted effects of automation processes on the organisation of work, the freedom of bodies and the nature of the spaces they inhabit. Recorded during the opening days of WORK, BODY, LEISURE in the Dutch pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018. By René Boer and Arif Kornweitz. One of the premises of the debates around the impact of automation is that these processes render (non)-human bodies and spaces obsolete. Yet automation processes may also revitalise those entities or create new ones. In unscripted gatherings that infiltrated the Dutch Pavilion during the Biennale’s opening days, René Boer and Arif Kornweitz explored these questions together with participants and guests. The conversations, recorded and available as a podcast series on the websites of Het Nieuwe Instituut, Creative Industries Fund NL and Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, capture the energy, dynamism and wealth of ideas circulating during the opening days of the Dutch Pavilion. https://work-body-leisure.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/activities/useful-life
