How will we work?

About

Our working environment is changing. Innovations in technology, such as rapidly advancing digitalization and the tremendous developments in robotics and artificial intelligence are exerting enormous influence over our everyday working lives. Some studies even suggest that up to 50 percent of the currently existing jobs will break away in the next 20 years. We have to rethink work-in its economic, social, and philosophical dimensions. The exhibition How Will We Work? will address, in both analytical and speculative ways, future forms and functions of human work, particularly targeting the role of the creative sector. With a view to the disappearance of seemingly "traditional jobs," it will raise the question about who will, and should, actively participate in redefining the terms work and future.
