Culture Now : Joshua Simon
5 Dec 2014
ICA
London SW1Y 5AH
Overview
Joshua Simon gives a talk in relation to a newly commissioned text, Shockwork: the Selfie and the Labour of the Overqualified, written to coincide with the ICA exhibition Journal. Simon examines the selfie and its recent emergence and proliferation, as a symptom of our late capitalist contemporary society. He observes that whilst consumerist needs of self-gratification and self-marketing continue to be pursued, other deeper issues such as mass unemployment and precarity fissure the fabric of today’s society.
