Thinking is the work that works everywhere, even on the toilet. So what happens when the places that were never designed to work begin working?
Exhibited at Themselves Warehouse Festival, the toilet has been altered and refitted to hybridise it with the machines of the traditional 'office space' by incorporating elements of the shredder and photocopier. The installation presents the newly hyper-functional toilet, acting to materialise the immaterial labour which emerges in unexpected places.
With non-human autonomy, it is an object of exhaustion. It will allow the shredded paper to overflow from the tank while the ejecting photocopies will gather in piles at the bottom. Work seeps out of the object at all ends. But the machine will carry on working until it becomes out of order. Only then is it's inactivity legitimised.
