Color [Self] Correction imagines a future of work where office workers are provided color feedback about the quality of their team dynamics. The team’s company has gone “manager-less,” meaning that Paloma, Ariel, Kayden, and JT must do their own problem solving if they expect to continue to have Fridays off.
Color [Self] Correction is a part of a larger project, The Workplace Organism, that assumes workplace monitoring will only grow in breadth and depth and considers workplace monitoring approaches that focus on the holistic well being of workers and improving team dynamics—in contrast to methods that focus narrowly on productivity, such as keystroke monitoring. Can workplace monitoring strike a balance between surveillance and privacy that serves employees? Can AI protect some data (actual conversations) while interpreting other types of data (conversational tone)? Additionally, Color [Self] Correction wonders whether or not the process of management can itself be automated.
