For years, Teresa has passed from one job to the next, settling
into long stretches of time, struggling to build her career in any
field or unstick herself from an endless cycle of labor. The
dreaded move from one gig to another is starting to feel
unbearable. When a recruiter connects her with a contract position
at AllOver, it appears to check all her prerequisites for a "good"
job. It's a fintech corporation with progressive hiring policies
and a social justice-minded mission statement. Their new service
for premium members: a functional fleet of driverless cars. The
future of transportation. As her new-hire orientation reveals, the
distance between AllOver's claims and its actions is wide, but the
lure of financial stability and a flexible schedule is enough to
keep Teresa driving forward. Joanne McNeil, who often reports on
how the human experience intersects with labor and technology
brings blazing compassion and criticism to Wrong Way, examining the
treacherous gaps between the working and middle classes wrought by
the age of AI. Within these divides, McNeil turns the unsaid into
the unignorable, and captures the existential perils imposed by a
nonstop, full-service gig economy.

Best of Rhizome 2012 is a selection of texts published on the
editorial platform of Rhizome along 2012. Edited by Joanne McNeil,
the book is, in the words of Rhizome's Executive Director Heather
Corcoran, "not just a best of Rhizome's work, but a portrait of the
year that we hope will gain significance over time [...] From texts
on production in the digital age, to the influence of the Occupy
Movement, from drones and surveillance, to online vernacular -
these collected essays give a sense of what was informing culture
in 2012." Founded in 1996, Rhizome is dedicated to the creation,
presentation, preservation, and critique of emerging artistic
practices that engage technology. Best of Rhizome 2012 includes
texts by Orit Gat, The Piracy Project, Rahel Aima, Angela Genusa,
Adam Rothstein, Joanne Mcneil, John Powers, Sarah Jaffe, Harry
Burke, Giampaolo Bianconi, Jason Huff, Clement Valla, Rachel
Wetzler, Yin Ho, Ben Fino-Radin, Paul Graham Raven, Honor Harger,
Jordan Crandall, Maura Lucking, and Cole Stryker.
The last decade has seen an incredible growth in the production and
distribution of images and other cultural artefacts. The internet
is the place where all these cultural products are stored,
classified, voted, collected and trashed. What is the impact of
this process on art making and on the artist? Which kind of
dialogue is going on between amateur practices and codified
languages? How does art respond to the society of information? This
is a book about endless archives, image collections, bees
plundering from flower to flower and hunters crawling through the
online wilderness. Alterazioni Video, Kari Altmann, Cory Arcangel,
Gazira Babeli, Kevin Bewersdorf, Luca Bolognesi, Natalie Bookchin,
Petra Cortright, Aleksandra Domanovic, Harm van den Dorpel,
Constant Dullaart, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Elisa Giardina Papa, Travis
Hallenbeck, Jodi, Oliver Laric, Olia Lialina & Dragan
Espenshied, Guthrie Lonergan, Eva and Franco Mattes, Seth Price,
Jon Rafman, Claudia Rossini, Evan Roth, Travess Smalley, Ryan
Trecartin.
