Fueled by an economic system that evaluates each individual based on their productivity, humans and machines are in competition with each other. In an effort to improve in order to stay relevant and benefit the society they belong to, they find themselves in a constant mode of self-exploitation. One works because one can, and not because one must. But due to an anomaly a robot abandons the assembly lines to explore an idle and independent existence.
The video series Retraining Laziness follows a conversation between a human worker and a malfunctioning robot as they discuss unhealthy production conditions and their own relationship to work and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T(n)C<\/strong> was founded in 2017 by Agnes Varnai and Tina Kult. They live and work in Vienna and experiment with a wide range of media, including virtual reality, 3D, installation, sculpture and film. By combining the different disciplines, they are researching immersive experiences to connect the digital and physical levels of realities. T(n)C\u2019s aim is to expand the practices of collective storytelling.
The works of T(n)C have been exhibited at various venues: Kunstraum Niederoesterreich (AT), WRO Biennale 2023 (PL), WIENWOCHE (AT), Vienna Design Week (AT), Rencontres Internationales Paris\/Berlin (FR\/DE), re;publica (DE). In 2022 they participated in the European Media Art Platform Residency Program at FACT in Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
