Join us for an image roulette session: together with Lìdia Pereira, Silvio Lorusso will randomly dig into his research directories to exhume entreprecarious memes, illustrations, screenshots, artworks, etc.

Entrepreneur or precarious worker? These are the terms of a cognitive dissonance that turns everyones life into a shaky project in perennial start-up phase. Silvio Lorusso guides us through the entreprecariat, a world where change is natural and healthy, whatever it may bring. A world populated by motivational posters, productivity tools, mobile offices and self-help techniques. A world 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.

“A compelling and relentless jaccuse: debunking the social and political myths that push an increasing number of persons to perform in the entrepreneurship circus — with no safety nets.” — Antonio Casilli, author of En attendant les robots, 2019
