The Institute of Human Obsolescence presents an intervention in the entry space of Stroom Den Haag and a series of public discussions about our work and research. The sessions host guest experts from different fields around the areas and themes related to our research. The discussions surround the impact of automation of labor, the ownership and capitalization of data, new forms of organization emerging from the scenario of human obsolescence, and the future dynamics between human and machine.

OpZicht - IoHO #2 Data Basic Income
Discussion series
During the second session, together with artist, economic activist and co-founder of Timebank.cc Sara Pape, the Institute will present the workshop ¨Follower, Observer, Maker¨. -Every action- we perform online generates value, whether this is clicking, posting or texting, but also something as seemingly unimportant as the way our finger moves through the surface of our devices as we scroll down. Throughout this session we ask ourselves where the moment is that our automated online habits become choreography and when this choreography becomes a form of labor. We will pinpoint the inequalities produced by data production and work with the proposition of the Data Basic Income as a tool to address them.
OpZicht - IoHO #3 Data Workers Union
Discussion series
On the third session, we discuss forms of organization emerging from the production of data as a form of labor and how can we move forward pursuing our Data Labor Rights. The Industrial Revolution witnessed the rise of the movement of labor unions, in the advent of human obsolescence and of a new understanding of our relation to work, how can we re-imagine the form of the workers union? With guest expert Luis Rodil-Fernández, artist, hacker and educator.
