The second act (above) Thank you for your
time, is a series of sculptures that interpret the relationship between leisure and work, using as inspiration five words given by the workers in their leisure time.
The third and final act, Being your own boss, is a book of critical essays written by ghostwriters from five different countries, on their perspectives about Fiverr, work and society.
Outsourced subjectivity explores our relationship with the digital workforce as an analogy to design practice itself: are informal economies the only way to survive? Is design a field of veiled precariousness under the smoke and mirrors of the motivational jargon? Under the economy of outsourcing, who’s the author? Who’s the doer? Who’s the maker?. Outsourced subjectivity offloads these questions in the blurred lines between the exploiter and exploited as a mirror to design’s professional condition.
