Work Ideology
Practitioner:
Madison Liao
Date:
Apr 15 2022
Work ideology centers around sustainable work. Through fifteen interviews, workers and prospective workers were interviewed about their experiences with work and the job search. Those interviews are analyzed and compiled on work ideology. However, work ideology goes further than showcasing the interview results, it allows for anonymous responses to be entered as well, expanding the research’s accessibility to every worker.

Fuck The Poor Charity Campaign – Creating Engagement In A Crowded Market With A Disinterested Public
Practitioner:
Pilion Trust
Date:
Apr 7 2014
"Small charities of today are in threat. Charitable donations are down. Fewer people are donating. Those that do donate are giving less.

45 Tweets
Practitioner:
Wonkles
Date:
Apr 25 2017
I have been composing and singing a selection of our President's tweets. I have two goals for this ongoing project. One is to laugh which helps all of us deal with the high anxiety of our times. The second is to shine new light on the absurd, troubled and baffling mind of our 45th President. There’s something utterly satisfying when I hear his words sung in an earnest lilting voice. I hope it compels you to think and listen in a whole new way.
