Participants at a live event in LA outsource their most minimal activist labor\u2014the signing of an online petition\u2014to the Amazon crowdwork platform Mechanical Turk.\r\n\r\nThe event takes place over a weekend at Bed & Breakfast, an artist-run space run out of a gallerists\u2019 bedroom. Visitors are admitted one-by-one from the general reception into B&B\u2019s bedroom\/exhibition space for a 20 min power nap accompanied by an assault of loud hardcore\/metal music. Before climbing into bed, they fill out a form indicating their political preferences and record their signature on a tablet computer. While they\u2019re resting, 100 petitions are signed in their name by workers on Mechanical Turk. Meanwhile, the PancakeBot 2.0 is used to print their signature in pancake batter, then served to them in bed with berries and whipped cream. A webcam is installed above the bed broadcasting a live-feed video of each participant in alternating cycles of nap and brunch.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m working with a series of musicians to create a fictional band called BEDRID<\/em> and produce a 20 min EP. Lyrics are sourced from Amazon reviews of the pancake bot, comparative statistics of voter turnout, a depression subReddit called GetOutOfBed, among others. The EP will play once for each participant in bed, and will also be available on home-burned CD.\r\n\r\nThis project will exist equally in physical space and online: performing on mTurk; on petition sites like MoveOn.org, Daily Kos, DemandProgress.org, UltraViolet, and Roots Action; and on a central website that brings all the elements together. This site will include video\/audio of Bedrid music (with subtitles), close ups of the pancake bot in action, the B&B live feed, and other relevant material (+Twitter history of the term \u00bbProtest is the New Brunch,\u00ab + screenshots of this slogan printed on t-shirts, mugs, golf towels\u2026)\r\n\r\nI\u2019m currently shooting video with a local hardcore band at Banff, and have another song recorded called Ruined Birthday Surprise. Bed &amp; Breakfast is on board to produce this weekend-long event in August.\r\n\r\nBEDRID<\/em> addresses the \u00bbRigged System\u00ab with both rage and satire, but without providing any clear solutions. It is critical of American political apathy, while simultaneously acknowledging feelings of powerlessness that arise from a constant and overwhelming barrage of bad news. Because I\u2019m limited by budget and timeline to provide a small number of these nap sessions, I\u2019d be thrilled to extend the reach of this project online with help from Schlosspost."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_img","acfe_flexible_layout_title":"Bild(er)","bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":6,"img_gallery":false,"img":[11843],"img_gallery_format":""}],"intro_preview_headline":"Nina Sarnelle \/ Los Angeles, CA, USA","intro_preview_txt":"","intro_preview_img":11841,"post_id_old":"33591","post_author":"","post_subtitle":"Nina Sarnelle \/ Los Angeles, CA, USA","post_preview_img_hide_on_single":false,"post_txt_old":"","post_pdf":null,"post_copyright":"ccl_default","translated_post":false,"translations":null,"post_copyright_individual":"","post_related_posts":[11828,11809,11789],"related_posts_post":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11840\/revisions"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11789"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11809"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11828"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=11840"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=11840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
