Michael Weber works as a graphic designer and sculptor. His current workcycle focusses on joy as a labour production-tool of artistic realities. He is co-founder of Versus Eternity, graduate of Bauhaus University. His project Brother Art Gallery is featured in Park Magazine and shown at Fundació Antoni Tàpies.
For his film Do What You Love, Michael Weber (Karlsruhe, Germany, 1987) focused on the current condition of the immaterial worker trying to find certainty in the era of New Work. By observing and researching co-working spaces, such as WeWork as well as small cafés with couches occupied by freelancers and entrepreneurs, Weber questions what it means to live in a world under Post-Fordism. Rather than understanding co-working spaces as places filled with energetic and opportunistic people, Do What You Love frames them as an assembly of invisible networks and accounts, digital communities, isolated beings, all operating from lists of references and made up job titles where everyone is a manager, director and executive officer. Weber makes visible the structure of how things work, revealing the game you have to play in order to have a chance of winning it.
