Description EASY RIDERS is a site-responsive performance exploring work, precarity and the physical body in the digital age. Developed through a unique collaboration between artists and on-demand workers of the platform or 'gig' economy, EASY RIDERS considers how Silicon Valley's technology and platform capitalism shape our bodies, behaviours, perceptions of time and our imaginaries. Inhabiting Trades Hall, EASY RIDERS honours the experiences and physicality of contemporary on-demand workers within the historical 'beating heart' of the labour movement and the eight-hour work day in Australia.
