In a docu-fiction experience in augmented reality, the user finds himself in a future where humankind has moved from full employment to full automation.
Newly unemployed, the user is enrolled in a government program – “Hand-in-Hand” – where he teaches artificial intelligence (AI) bots how to be better at identifying human emotions.
The better the bots become, the more humans are freed from the messy task of “work” and the more basic income is available to everyone. Is a fully automated world one where we end up missing our day jobs?
Hand in Hand is part of the interactive documentary series Earn a Living
