PROJECT: I NEED MORE TIME MACHINE
The I Need More Time Machine is a multifaceted research, oral history, and video installation project that draws on the experiences of a wide array of female-identifying New Yorkers in the past, present and future to examine labor, feeling of overwhelm, exhaustion, and technologies of rest. The project seeks to test, model, and create a fantasy-imbued solution for female workers-caretakers’ race against a relentless capitalist clock. The I Need More Time Machine alters the labor movement's credo "8 hours labor, 8 hours rest, 8 hours recreation," with the motto: “Limitless hours of rejuvenating dream time.” The project will culminate in the public installation of viewing/listening spaces.
