PROGRAM / Workers Out of Office: Dreaming About Work

EN/
Workers Out of Office immerses players on the outskirts of a simulated city in a near-future setting, where they assume control of a group of former corporate employees displaced by automation. In this situation, they contemplate their individual futures, searching for new models of emancipation and meaningful survival in a post-work society, navigating poor material conditions and a deteriorating climate while striving to preserve their collective well-being. They must find new positions in society, political stances, and an agenda.

The game's objective is to allow the player to speculate about a future that encompasses both emancipation and, in the bad scenario, the potential dystopia of planetary extinction. To speculate means to employ a critical awareness of one's own (perhaps limited but existing) possibilities for engaging in political struggles in a reality beyond the game.
