DESCRIPTION:
It is morning in the office of an anonymous startup at the dawn of the digital age, circa 1996. Beige walls entomb data serfs pecking at workstations, unaware that the world is about to flip upside down. Welcome to the latest episode of Abandon, a video series on liberation from work by the artist Filastine.

‘Salarymen’ brings Abandon into the office, at the very moment in history when computers first began to dominate our lives. But the dreams of a frictionless technocracy quickly hit a glitch.
