But this time, instead of wires and circuits, the rack holds <strong>videos of working hands<\/strong>: repetitive, precise gestures performed by two groups of workers\u2014<strong>women in the electronics assembly industry<\/strong> and <strong>traditional hand weavers<\/strong>. Their movements form a silent choreography, linking the past of artisanal craftsmanship to the present of technological production.<br><br>Alongside these videos, a <strong>jacquard tapestry<\/strong> presents an alternative, <strong>non-linear timeline of technological history<\/strong>, weaving together forgotten threads of innovation. From <strong>German lacemakers<\/strong> to <strong>Navajo women weaving integrated circuits<\/strong>, the tapestry maps a different narrative, where the often-overlooked female workforce is acknowledged as a driving force of technological progress.<br><br>The project also raises a pressing question: <strong>if women\u2019s manual labor has been an unseen force behind the digital revolution, what will happen in the age of AI and automation?<\/strong> The installation prompts reflection on labor precarization and the transformations ahead, urging the audience to rethink the future through a historical and critical lens.<br><br>Created in collaboration with <strong>EE Exclusives<\/strong>, <strong>Choreography of Work<\/strong> pays tribute to the hands that have woven the fabric of technology, restoring visibility and dignity to a labor force too often erased from history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f671c111448a78812c1e07a4bc874e3\" style=\"color:#1b1b19;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:-0.2px\"><strong>IN COLLABORATION WITH<\/strong> <br>EE Exclusives<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aef7858f3f7b40c8258833259d8f2904\" style=\"color:#1b1b19;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:-0.2px\"><strong>IN COLLABORATION WITH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"417\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27797\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:150px;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1.png 417w, https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo_goethe-1-400x400.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c962b4ea9d8119b508021efdbcac14c1\" style=\"color:#1b1b19;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:-0.1px\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project retraces the history of technology through a feminist lens, revealing the essential yet often invisible role of manual labor in shaping our digital world.
