Ciracade
Ciracade is an analogous structure formed allegorically, preserving the principles of a self-contained organisation that governs light and mobility, providing a schema for the automation and commodification of emotion.
Mirroring Bourriaud's concerns, written in 'The Exform', that the 'proletariat' may be becoming dissociated. Here, Ciracade attempts to form a microcosm of industry, exhibiting a mechanised interpretation of Schadenfreude ('malicious joy' at the expense of another), in lieu of an under-class driven labour system purposed exclusively for capital gain.
The peripheral light ring is automated by a smartphone app, changing to affect the internal-body clock of viewing parties. This unspoken procedural system invites discourse around appointed capitalist frameworks whose purpose is to maintain enterprise at any cost.
