Art Route Venice fig.: 'The Shit Old Days' photo collection of female industrial workers from South-Wales of the mid-19th century is installed together with a wearable device by Motorola for measuring the performance of work. Artist Jeremy Deller researched for his work the archives until today and applied to the photographs and electronic device information from his studies: The photos were taken by William Clayton in the mid-19th century as response to a debate about the role of women as industry workers and the effects on domestic life; mentioned is the year 1865. The Motorola device WT4000 (2013) is used by retailers such as giant Amazon in warehouses to track orders and consequently to calculate the worker's performance - and when falling behind the expectations to send warnings. |
