Subject: The Internet as Playground and Factory

Dear all,

You can now join the discussion about topics of user "labor" related to the
conference "The Internet as Playground and Factory."

Introduction:

A few questions from the introduction:

   * Is it possible to acknowledge the moments of ruthless exploitation
while not eradicating optimism, inspiration, and the many instances of
individual financial and political empowerment?

   * What is labor and where is value produced?

   * Are strategies of refusal an effective response to the expropriation of
value from interacting users?

   * How is the global crisis of capitalism linked to the speculative
performances of the digital economy?

   * What can we learn from the “cyber sweatshops” class-action lawsuit
against AOL under the Fair Labor Standards Act in the early 1990s?

   * How does this invisible interaction labor affect our bodies? What were
key steps in the history of interaction design that managed to mobilize and
structure the social participation of bodies and psyches in order to capture
value?

   * Most interaction labor, regardless whether it is driven by monetary
motivations or not, is taking place on corporate platforms. Where does that
leave hopeful projections of a future of non-market peer production?


best,
Trebor Scholz
