REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT and Miklós ERHARDT The SOCIAL ENGINE - exploring flexibility is an art and research project on the influence of flexible concepts of work in Hungarian and German societies. It explores the structural changes in the job market, the role of new interpretations and practices of labour in existing social networks, and identities in transformation. By presenting parallel interviews with employees and representatives of temp-work agencies in Hungary and Germany, the project endeavours to grasp the dynamics of flexibility generated by insecurity – and of insecurity generated by flexibility.

-We developed and made the working-clothes with the EL-wire at Hangar with help of Alex Posada and David Cuartielles.
A radio transmitter, which sends the percentage of the value for the light to the two reseivers of the working-clothe devises. One or a third person has to control the EL-wire/working clothes with this sender devise.
-For the installation we developed ideas for a oval projection screen.
-In total we made 4 interventions: artist studio, media-agentur, cereia (candles manufactory), hairdresser

Prekarität: eine wilde Reise ins Herz des verkörperten Kapitalismus
Oder: wer hat Angst vor der immateriellen Arbeit?
Precarity: A Savage Journey to the Heart of Embodied Capitalism
Vassilis Tsianos / Dimitris Papadopoulos
Dimitris Papadopoulos
Introduction
There is an underlying assumption to the current debates about class composition in post-Fordism: this is the assumption that immaterial work and its corresponding social subjects form the centre of gravity in the new turbulent cycles of struggles around living labour. This paper explores the theoretical and political implications of this assumption, its promises and closures. Is immaterial labour the condition out of which a radical socio-political transformation of contemporary post-Fordist capitalism can emerge? Who’s afraid of immaterial workers today?

‘SUNDAY files’ is an experimental array having to do with work, space and time. The concrete subject matter: the 24/7 workplace surveillance via webcams that doesn’t take Sundays off. A confrontation with flexible working hours and permanent availability in the Age of Digital Communications. ‘SUNDAY files’ took shape through work done stricly on Sunday. They scrutinize Sunday as a day of rest – an idea that is increasingly being called into question – on the basis of its visibility in the electronic shere and in a globalized world of work.
