Workers Leaving the Googleplex
Description (Dublin Core)
Wilson’s installation, Workers Leaving the Googleplex, features illicit footage of marginalized class of Google Books “ScanOps” workers at Google’s international corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley. Situated within a motion picture history of Lumière Brothers’ Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory (1895), and Farocki’s Workers Leaving the Factory (1995), the piece addresses the transformations and continuities in arrangements of labor, media and information.
