MONOMAT / Mon-O-Matic
installation, 2015

Monomat / Mon-O-Matic is a model of a manufacturing plant without a control centre. It is a prototype
that represents the social modes of production. Monomat / Mon-O-Matic is based on the research of
the cognitive precariate's labour practices, which are characterized by the repetition of
automatized motion as part of the human - machine relationship.
The model is based on "infinite" multiplication of the manufacturing plant, including all of
the entailed office equipment (a computer screen, a table, a chair, writing implements, a
book, a computer mouse & keyboard, etc). The precisely coordinated operation of all of the
auxiliary levels mimics the principles of action within contemporary societies and the
absurdity of the environment within which the communication capitalism is reproduced. The
gradual self-destruction of individual work stations also represents the condition of
permanent technical innovation within fordism and postfordism which demand a radical
consumption of energy. The machinery's sound, which is one of Monomat's / Mon-O-Matic's fundamental
elements, is the result of programmed motion of technical prosthesis and metallic
constructs, within which the cognitive precariate is entailed. Monomat / Mon-O-Matic is thus a model
that exposes the socio-technical system of mass consumerism as the principal factor of social
construction of reality.
