Human Element Inc – Crowdwork services for everyday life

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members Objects People , Posted on:

Created by Stephan Bogner and Philipp Schmitt, Human Element Inc. investigates how crowdwork, such as Amazon MechanicalTurk, might be woven into everyday life in the future— and explores the topic through three speculative crowdwork services.

The project addresses this in three different speculations: Crowdwork as a method for payment (or direct creation of value), crowdwork workstations for public space and possible devices that let anyone become a requester and put the crowd to work.

The chAIr Project is a series of four chairs created using a generative neural network (GAN) trained on a dataset of iconic 20th-century chairs with the goal to “generate a classic”.
