A World
Without

Work
Central question
Do we need work more than work needs us?
The provocation
Work became our secular religion. What do we worship once the altar is automated?
The project
A three-part podcast that doubles as a workshop — three people, three angles, one question about what is left of us when labor is optional.
Research Spine · live
An open instrument running underneath the project — still taking shape. Each person who takes part adds four dots to the cloud, coloured by theme. Only a handful have answered so far, so it reads as a faint placeholder; the more people respond, the more the cloud forms. Hover the dots to read the question behind them — and add your answers below.
