REFRESH X FANTOCHE #4

Efficiency, competition and profit characterise our concept of work, reinforced by the digitisation and automation of professions. What does this mean for us as humans? Through games, videos and interactive installations, this international group exhibition explores the theme of work in the post-digital age.
