PUBLIC LECTURE “WORK IN 21st CENTURY” BY MULTIMEDIA ARTIST M. A. HENTZ 1o oct - RIGA

today I would introduce you about the work of a very old friend with who I work  with Unitvnetwork, MIKE HENTZ.

He presents a lecture about "WORK" this monday in RIGA Latvia.

The theme of work is a major topic of today‘s society. We live in outdated work values left over from the early industry labor (a sweaty, physical, dirty-making act) as the notion of real work. Computer and virtual work are unconsciously perceived as not “real” work in their iconography. Icons of work, like hammer and machine wheel, don‘t have their renewed icons in today‘s life.

Work is connected to suffering, offices are built in an uncomfortable way, with the uneasy neon lights, hard chairs underlining the symbolism of „serious“ work, the latter different from hobby or private work, with which the people identify much more.

Prof. M. A. Hentz will review the issues of the work as an increasingly important social topic:  future of
labour, work, occupation, global influences on the local and international contexts of work and values of labour and the sociologic and economic impacts in society, methods and visions for the future.

You can find the biography and works of prof. M. A. Hentz in his web site.
