In 1925, for the Paris Exposition at the Grand Palais, Alexander Rodchenko's minimal geometric designs for the Workers' Club expressed a culture of rationality and efficiency. The Club embodied revolutionary ideology by re-envisioning leisure as engaged and collective rather than passive and solitary. Its elements enabled multiple possibilities, most of which were aimed at educating workers through the most cutting edge information technologies at the time.

Team Precariat will mark the occasion with a 6-hour program streaming on twitch.tv/teamprecariat with audience/participants gathered in hosted Zoom meeting room “installations”. Activities galore! Workplace Casual. BYO]
