Screen Walk with Lauren Huret
About this film
Lauren Huret shared her research on the hidden work of content moderators, and the power of traumatising images. Bringing questions of agency and control, her explorations reveal the labour force tasked with watching high volumes of images from social media, often found disturbing, and how these workers are silenced by the companies who employ them. In this Screen Walk, participants were invited to remotely log into the artist's own computer and investigated her content on their own, while the artist invisibly moderate them. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
