    Hustle, Grind and Sleep
    (2022) Allen, Jamie; Kellermeyer, Jonas
    We work endlessly. Whether it be justified by love,money, or both, it seems clear that the popular imaginary and contemporary conditions of the industrialised West are arranged such that there is always more work to do. We are always working — on ourselves, on others (things, relationships, people), presuming to understand its value and utility, and presuming that it will always increase the common good. Albert Camus’ famous inversion — to regard Sisyphus as the prototype of a happy person, always assured of work, always with something to do — is a seemingly benign allegory for microcultures in which continuous work is a must, a mantra, a mania and a meme; microcultures in which leisure is luxury, and sleep is optional.

    Hustle, Grind & Flow
    (2022) Kellermeyer, Jonas; Allen, Jamie
    As relations central to our own work, time, labour, identity and media practices, we attempt to trace how new media-aesthetics and -concepts (memes) are changing work, life and sleep. The pressing challenge of the present: the composition of a liveable, existential relation to infrastructures of work and their creative, or artistic, collaborative potentials. As with Albert Camus’ famous inversion — to regard Sisyphos as the prototype of a happy person, assured of certainty — the ways in which a ‘good life’ can be lead is also a matter of perspective: modern institutions and media render it virtually impossible to avoid (idealistic, ambiguous) contradictions, pressures and shame associated with "hustle" and grind" work ethics. #SleepNoMore? A presentation with Jonas Kellermeyer, Hustle, Grind & Flow elaborates these three concepts, wrought through online popular-cultural forms that are at once racialised and gendered, classist and sexist, as well as motivational and sustaining for many.
