Listen, Baxter (2015)

Subtitles for: Listen, Baxter (2015)

Listen, Baxter brings together found footage from aboard the Oseberg Alpha oil rig off the coast of Norway and video of workers’ interactions with technological production and shipping of oil byproducts. Tying these bodies of labor together with the language of startup culture and technologically mediated affective expression, the work highlights the bodily, industrial, and robotic labor at play in the production of fossil fuels in the 21st century.
