[Tech.City.Night.Work.Man]
[Tech.City.Night.Work.Man] is a visualisation of the lived experience in an automated world. The project set in the nightscapes of Bangalore City questions technological progress by investigating the life of a vulnerable class of workers enslaved by advanced capitalism. This work began with my decision to sign up as a delivery boy with a food ordering company. Like a photographer surrendering to a photo editor, the delivery company’s app tells me where to go and what I can expect to find there. And then once again I surrendered control to an artificial intelligence engine which picked apart my world of drudgery and allowed me to programmatically reassemble it into a new fictional world more representative of reality than dull reality itself.
