Within the data-driven delirium of immaterial labor—flows of information, productivity surveillance, and efficiency analytics demanded by corporate interests, managerial consultancies, and office furniture designers—this proposal seeks to co-opt these tactics of digital management to produce an alternative ethos of work. The implications of these techno-disciplinary devices on the bodies and actions of workers are both performative and aesthetic, and as such can be appropriated to re-empower those surveilled and the quantified to produce new spaces—both physical and virtual—of resistance.
