Description DESTINY (2021), is a moving-image work made in collaboration with on-demand or 'gig economy' workers, including rideshare drivers, food delivery riders and cleaners, that explores personal and global experiences of the platform economy. Against the backdrop of the historical union stronghold of Melbourne's Trades Hall, four workers perform work in isolation, fueling an unseen 'machine' of platform capitalism: objects are delivered, unwrapped and accumulated en masse. An electric bike weaves around obstacles and entry points. The pace of work builds. Over time, through shared action, the workers transport themselves into a collective space, fleeting but real, of protest and resistance.
