人体感应互动装置|| Ghost Labor幽灵劳工 Original

Commonly used in the film and television industry, green screen is a technology that separates things from the background and is used for shooting unrealistic scenes. The green screen is a deception of human vision. Human vision and computer are constantly entangled in this process, which is a kind of self-deception that tries to be invisible. The invisibility of "self-deception" is not really invisible, just like the invisible human labor under automation has not been eliminated by automation, but has changed time, changed location, and experienced reorganization, in a more concealed and marginalized way. The state persists.
At the same time, when the object is covered by a green screen, its final visual flattening also corresponds to the invisible ghost laborer in the automation scene: workers are hidden under the data, and their personal values are hidden. This individual is a flat line of ID data code. Users are completely unaware of the existence of workers, thinking that automation has been developed to the point of real-time response. Digital labor is a product of digitalization and automation, and it is also the status quo of labor that we need to see in this era-automation brings new, unrecognized labor subjects, whose value is underestimated.
Looking at the history of human labor, no matter in which period, undervalued and invisible labor and labor force exist. It’s just that now in the digital age, the identity of workers has become a digital worker, and the distance in time and space makes human labor more isolated and more secretive. No matter how the history of labor changes, we should also clearly realize that behind automation and artificial intelligence is the support of human wisdom, and we explain everything to machines. Knowing without fear, looking at the development of artificial intelligence without blindness or fear, will make an objective evaluation for the future development of whether it is the Metaverse or other artificial intelligence technologies.
Green screen creates conditions for unreality but cannot be divorced from reality. Automation replaces a large number of human beings but cannot truly be divorced from human beings. Man's desire to be free from labor has always brought new tasks to man, and we will continue to discover needs that augment rather than replace manpower. Although human beings "wear green screens", human labor cannot be separated from the background of the times. The blend of reality and unreality, automation is the catalyst for the change of human labor forms in this era. The times bring us new tasks and challenges, we need to respond with creativity and wisdom, and constantly pursue the progress and development of human labor.
