作品已完成，作品记录准备中…
Project Finished, the documentation photography is coming…
互联网催生出的幽灵工作已经不是什么新鲜事，这些数字劳工无处不在，且被平台隐秘的抽象化了，用户无法感知到他们的物理性的存在。算法驱动的零工经济，将资本主义的分工协作进一步提升了。人类只负责提供身体，算法成为大脑。共情在这个物化和幽灵化的过程里溜走了。
我记得我小时候特别喜欢家附近的一家面馆。面馆阿姨也提供外送的服务。点了几次外送之后，这个阿姨和她的店员也逐渐的认识我了。我和她们之间建立起了微妙的社群联系。
现在我几乎不可能遇到同一个外卖员两次。他们带着黄色的兔子耳朵，机械地说着“请给我五星好评”。中国没有小费的传统，他们被迫穿上这些媚俗的衣服，被迫满足用户的各种过分的要求。都只是因为资本驱动型算法的监控和惩罚机制。
我做了一个外卖员的玩偶，它的头是一个透明的方盒子，里面装了各种媚俗的小玩意，我要用自行车载着它，骑到湖边。
The algorithm-driven gig economy has led to many ghost jobs. These digital labors are abstracted by platforms and algorithms. The empathy of customers disappears in this process of abstraction materialization .
Not only being exploited physically, but also mentally. Without the tradition of tipping, what drives Chinese delivery drivers to pursue a five star rate is the strong punishment mechanism. They have to meet some over requirements from users: help take out the trash, walk up to the ninth floor, and draw a Peppa for users. Platforms force labor to wear some funny uniforms
To criticize this alienation of labor, specifically in China’s food delivery industry, I made an ironic sculpture, “A Cube Head”:a delivery driver without a transparent cube head, the cube is filled with everything represents commercial kitsch tendencies: teddy bears, cute cat toys, and Barbie dolls. Finally I will ride a bike, carry this sculpture, and take it for a drive.
