Resumo

When visitors enter the University Art Gallery at the University of California, San Diego, they normally find a white reception desk to their left with an attendant tapping at a laptop. However, during the exhibition And How Are We Feeling Today? , the reception area was transformed by an imaginary political campaign: Wages for Facebook. Bright posters of currency symbols adorned the front of a table, and on top visitors could find campaign buttons featuring a fist in a blue outline reminiscent of Facebook’s “Like” button scattered among books such as Digital Labour and Karl Marx by Christian Fuchs and Who Owns the Future? by Jaron Lanier.
