The SYNTHESIS project is one of the winners of the 2nd Production Grant 2017 (Hangar). In this prtoject David Mutiloa re-examine the transformations that have occurred in recent decades within the dynamics of productive work: the digitization of its processes, the fractalization of its times and spaces, the absorption of cognitive and affective faculties … For most part of the twentieth century the workers struggled to achieve a social condition with which to escape the alienation caused by work, but this aspiration for self-realization ended up perfectly integrating within the productive chain, generating a state of constant and generalized depression. SYNTHESIS will seek to trace the genesis of this change, taking it as the turning point in which lies the origin of contemporary tragedy.
