Silvio Lorusso: Entreprecariat

Book presentation by Silvio Lorusso at Moderna galerija.
Ljubljana, 15 January 2020
Realised in the framework of the symposium "AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS!" within the "Hyperemployment - Post-work, Online Labour and Automation".
A year-long programme co-curated by Domenico Quaranta & Janez Janša.
Entreprecariat (Krisis Publishing, 2018; Onomatopee, 2019) explores and maps out the current entrepreneurial ideology from a precarious perspective. The Entreprecariat indicates a reality where change is natural and healthy, whatever it may bring. A reality populated by motivational posters, productivity tools, mobile offices and self-help techniques. A reality in which a mix of entrepreneurial ideology and widespread precarity is what regulates professional social media, online marketplaces for self-employment and crowdfunding platforms for personal needs. The result? A life in permanent beta, with sometimes tragic implications.
