Cycles of Labour: In the Metaverse, We Will Be Housewives

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The digital sphere suggests new reorganisation, where many users are turned into wage-labourers being hired for minute tasks of maintenance and care. These workers are effectively turned into NPCs (non-playable characters), providing a smooth experience for other users. These hired NPCs are once again stuck in a loop of constant waiting and working for a piece-wage. Like the houseworkers from the global south, the NPCs also become highly vulnerable. Digital labour thus follows the same cycle of individualisation and invisibilisation as domestic labour in the second half of the twentieth century. This process then results in delegating this labour to the most vulnerable populations, further adding to their precarity.
