Physical Outsourcing

live performance / web tool / 2020

Physical Outsourcing is a project in collaboration with three other classmates, and and it is emphasising the value of virtual human labor. Due to the increased accessibility to the internet a new form of work has evolved. In many cases people are used for extending certain computational systems.
Physical Outsourcing was streamed, and was completed through the collection of physical micro tasks from multiple contributors. The tasks involved translation, illustration and performance in relation to a given text.
A web drawing tool was proposed for audience interaction, while watching the live stream. The tool is accessible on: https://drawing-tool-online.herokuapp.com/
