Quality Is Our Recipe

In Quality Is Our Recipe, we find the Disorientals in Wendy’s Old-Fashioned Brown Bagging Factory playing their own avatars in their Kinect video game, Participation May Vary. Stepping out of the factory game, the Disorientals become engulfed in a mass of brown bags and respond to the disembodied, computerized voice of an executive who directs them in absurd choreographies of labor, exploring tropes of gamification across all categories and classes of work.
