A que cheira a explora\u00e7\u00e3o laboral? O projeto “Labor” \u00e9 uma instala\u00e7\u00e3o que enche uma galeria com a manifesta\u00e7\u00e3o visual do odor de pessoas que se exercitam sob stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este projeto reflete e questiona poeticamente a mudan\u00e7a na sociedade industrial, do trabalho humano e mec\u00e2nico para formas cada vez mais difundidas de produ\u00e7\u00e3o microbiana, e assim contemplar os contornos, sempre em mudan\u00e7a, que definem o ser humano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O cheiro do suor \u00e9, literalmente, o cheiro de duas esp\u00e9cies de bact\u00e9rias que se alimentam das excre\u00e7\u00f5es do corpo humano e que produzem os aromas acres e azedos que nos s\u00e3o familiares. Neste sentido, o odor do trabalho n\u00e3o \u00e9 realmente um cheiro humano, a menos que estejamos dispostos a redefinir o que constitui um ser humano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isto pode ser chocante, j\u00e1 que a maioria das pessoas pensa que o seu cheiro faz parte de sua pr\u00f3pria condi\u00e7\u00e3o natural \u2013 ou seja que o seu cheiro \u00e9 o seu cheiro. Mas, de facto, \u00e9 muito mais complexo: o respons\u00e1vel pela determina\u00e7\u00e3o desta caracter\u00edstica \u201chumana\u201d bastante distintiva \u00e9 um cocktail de micro-organismos que habita os nossos corpos. Mas \u00e9 sem d\u00favida mais do que o nosso cheiro que est\u00e1 em jogo: um estudo recente determinou que “em m\u00e9dia, qualquer pessoa tem 182 esp\u00e9cies de bact\u00e9rias, em qualquer altura, a viver nos seus antebra\u00e7os, e cerca de 8% delas nunca foram formalmente identificadas por cientistas.”(The Independent, 2007). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estas descobertas sobre o grande n\u00famero de criaturas que vivem nos nossos corpos perturbam qualquer conceito reduzido de humanidade, uma vez que estas c\u00e9lulas s\u00e3o muito mais abundantes do que as c\u00e9lulas humanas e diferem de pessoa para pessoa, muito mais do que as c\u00e9lulas humanas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neste contexto, o conceito do que, exatamente constitui uma pessoa est\u00e1 novamente sob o microsc\u00f3pio, n\u00e3o apenas para os cientistas, mas para a cultura em geral. Durante s\u00e9culos temos debatido quem \u00e9 considerado uma pessoa e quando: \u00e9 uma quest\u00e3o que domina o discurso pol\u00edtico nos \u00faltimos s\u00e9culos devido \u00e0 liga\u00e7\u00e3o ao trabalho e \u00e0 liberdade no mundo p\u00f3s-renascentista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este projeto d\u00e1 continuidade a um processo que se foca nestas quest\u00f5es e, em particular, analisa como est\u00e3o vinculadas ao trabalho. Desde a industrializa\u00e7\u00e3o, o modelo da f\u00e1brica evoluiu do trabalho humano, para o trabalho mec\u00e2nico e, cada vez mais no s\u00e9culo XXI, para a produ\u00e7\u00e3o microbiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atualmente, a vida n\u00e3o humana produz uma vasta gama de produtos, incluindo enzimas, alimentos, bebidas, mat\u00e9rias-primas, combust\u00edveis e produtos farmac\u00eauticos. Em alguns casos, os pr\u00f3prios micro-organismos s\u00e3o o produto final, noutros a sua respira\u00e7\u00e3o produz produtos, e por vezes s\u00e3o colhidos para darem origem a componentes, tais como sequ\u00eancias gen\u00e9ticas, anticorpos ou prote\u00ednas. Estes novos organismos vivem literalmente para trabalhar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estes novos processos industriais apontam para um aprofundamento da explora\u00e7\u00e3o da vida e dos processos vivos: design, engenharia, gest\u00e3o e o aumento do grau de comodidade da pr\u00f3pria vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu associo “f\u00e1bricas” tanto \u00e0s casas de trabalho dos livros de Dickens, do s\u00e9culo XIX, como \u00e0s f\u00e1bricas neocoloniais em que os humanos trabalham at\u00e9 aos limites da sua for\u00e7a f\u00edsica e emocional para produzir bens materiais. A inten\u00e7\u00e3o do meu projeto \u00e9, paradoxalmente, produzir o cheiro desse trabalho humano como produto final, e n\u00e3o como subproduto ou desperd\u00edcio sup\u00e9rfluo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A premissa \u00e9 que, ironicamente, lamentamos a perda de postos de trabalho na f\u00e1brica devido \u00e0 terciariza\u00e7\u00e3o da economia, e o cheiro desse trabalho \u00e9 simultaneamente sinistro e sentimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does exploitation smell like? “Labor” is an art installation that fills a gallery with visual manifestation of the scent of people exerting themselves in stressful conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project poetically reflects and interrogates industrial society\u2019s shift from human and machine labor to increasingly pervasive forms of microbial manufacturing, and in this process contemplates the changing borders defining what is to be human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smell of sweat is literally the smell of two species of bacteria that feed upon the excretions of the human body to produce the familiar acrid and sour scents. In this sense, the smell of labor is not actually a human scent, unless we are willing to redefine what constitutes a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may come as a shock, since most people think that the way they smell is part of their own natural condition \u2013 put simply, your smell is your smell. But in fact it is far more complex: a cocktail of microorganisms that live on and in us are the culprits who determine that rather distinctive \u201chuman\u201d feature. But it is arguably more than just whether we stink that is at stake: one recent study posits that \u201con average people have 182 species of bacteria living at any one time on their forearms, and about 8 per cent of these have never been formally described by scientists.\u201d (The Independent, 2007). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such findings about the vast numbers of creatures that live upon and in our bodies complicate any reductive sense of human-ness, since these cells vastly outnumber human cells and differ between persons far more than human cells do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, the idea what exactly makes up a person is again under the microscope, not just for scientists, but for culture at large. For centuries we have been debating who gets to be considered a person and when: it is a question that dominates political discourse of the last few centuries because of the connection to labor and liberation in the post-renaissance world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My project is a continuation of a process that interrogates those issues and in particular looks at how they are tied to labor. Since industrialization, the factory model has shifted from human labor, to machine labor, and increasingly in the Twenty-first century to microbial manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, non-human life produces of a wide range of products, including enzymes, foods, beverages, feedstocks, fuels and pharmaceuticals. In many cases, genetically modified new species have been invented for the specific product they produce. In some cases the microorganisms themselves are the end products, in other cases their respiration produces products, and sometimes they are harvested for components, such as genetic sequences, antibodies, or proteins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They literally live to work. These new industrial processes point to a deepening of the exploitation of life and living processes: the design, engineering, management and commoditization of life itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I associate \u201cfactories\u201d with both Dickensian, nineteenth-century workhouses, and neo-colonial sweatshops in which humans toil to the limits of their physical and emotional strength to produce material goods. The intent of my project is to paradoxically produce the scent of such human labor as an end product, rather than as bi-product or superfluous waste. The premise is that, ironically, we mourn the loss of factory jobs due to outsourcing and modernization and the scent of this labor is both ominous and sentimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Vanouse \u00e9 um artista que trabalha em novos Media emergentes. A sua pr\u00e1tica \u00e9 guiada por uma interdisciplinaridade radical e um amadorismo apaixonado. Desde o in\u00edcio dos anos 90 que o seu trabalho tem explorado assuntos complexos levantados por v\u00e1rias novas tecnoci\u00eancias, utilizando estas mesmas tecnoci\u00eancias como um medium. Os seus trabalhos t\u00eam inclu\u00eddo dispositivos de recolha de dados que examinam as ramifica\u00e7\u00f5es da sondagem e categoriza\u00e7\u00e3o, experi\u00eancias gen\u00e9ticas que comprometem as constru\u00e7\u00f5es cient\u00edficas de ra\u00e7a e de identidade, e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es tempor\u00e1rias que criticam de forma l\u00fadica a institucionaliza\u00e7\u00e3o e a corporiza\u00e7\u00e3o. Estas “Fic\u00e7\u00f5es Operacionais” s\u00e3o entidades h\u00edbridas – simultaneamente objetos reais e representa\u00e7\u00f5es fantasiosas \u2013 com a intens\u00e3o de ressoar no contexto hiper-real da paisagem eletr\u00f3nica contempor\u00e2nea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Vanouse is an artist working in Emerging Media forms. Radical inter-disciplinarity and impassioned amateurism guide his practice. Since the early 1990s his artwork has addressed complex issues raised by varied new techno-sciences using these very techno-sciences as a medium. His artworks have included data collection devices that examine the ramifications of polling and categorization, genetic experiments that undermine scientific constructions of race and identity, and temporary organizations that playfully critique institutionalization and corporatization. These “Operational Fictions” are hybrid entities–simultaneously real things and fanciful representations–intended to resonate in the equally hyper-real context of the contemporary electronic landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
