Art + Technology Lab grant recipient Michael Mandiberg exhibited Quantified Self Portrait (Rhythms), a sound installation in the Pritzker Parking Garage elevators which combined recordings of the artist’s heartbeat and digital media alerts. Quantified Self Portrait (1 Year Performance) is a video composite of a year’s worth of self-surveillance that creates an impression of an artist's daily work. The work which originated from his proposal for the Art + Technology Lab in 2016, is a year-long performance where he self-tracks his labor through means of pervasive custom surveillance software, and showed the results as a multiple-part multimedia installation. He used himself as a proxy to hold a mirror to a pathologically overworked and increasingly quantified society, revealing a personal political economy of data. Quantified Self is a social movement in which technology is used to self-track personal data in order to gain a fuller, unbiased understanding of oneself. This self-portrait is also a symbol of the artist today not as an individual laborer, but as someone who is part of a larger network of workers, agents, and organizations. He addressed that despite a long history of the self-portrait, people have few representations of the daily life of contemporary artists.
