[Nettime-bold] High Sweat Tech Shop Street Performance

[fran ilich <ilich_030@yahoo.com.mx>]

Multi-Media Performance: Thursday, October 18, 2001, at 8pm
An evening outdoor performative event at the famous "Lilli Ann Mural
Building" in the Mission District, a historic landmark colonized by the
dot-com industry. Los Cybrids, as multi-lingual analog tour guides, will
combine live performance, video montages and pre-recorded audio,
juxtaposing issues of race and class in a globalizing world where laborers
and computers are equally disposable. Large-scale projected video images on
the exterior wall of the Lilli Ann Building create a digital tour of the
information technology (IT) industry through images of manufacturing in
Silicon Valley and Maquiladoras in Guadalajara ("the Silicon Valley of
Mexico"); corporate headquarters in the Bay Area; world financial centers;
border crossings; and IT work places. The video posits the promise of the
IT revolution against the actuality of manufacturing processes,
highlighting labor issues, environmental health and safety issues, the
ecological impact of computers and immigration trends. At the Lilli Ann
mural; 18th and Harrison Sts., San Francisco. Free Admission.

Web Installation Debut Thursday: October 18, 2001
The online element of High Sweat Tech Shop features a Web installation
examining issues of labor in the IT industry using multiple digital
formats. The Web site is being developed in collaboration with Media
Alliance and will be hosted on their servers.

Join Los Cybrids: La Raza Techno-Critica and Media Alliance for the latest
and greatest in high tech intervention! High Sweat Tech Shop uncovers the
contradictions of digital labor's divide, where assembly line workers from
Santa Clara are as interchangeable and disposable as those in Guadalajara
or Jakarta. Are tech laborers being swept up, or swept under the rug by
this e-conomy? Los Cybrids probe the allegedly revolutionary digi-tech
industries via large-scale video projections, smarty-pants panelists,
street performance, and loud-ass audio. Don't miss the High Sweat Tech Shop
smarty panel discussion on the evening of October 10 and super-chignon
performance event October 18.
