Performance Review

with Yen Phang Fourth Series + 20 Jul 2019 51 Waterloo Street

Performance Review is a collaboration which was first sparked off by conversations about Human Resource. Hyrol employs Microsoft Excel as a Lo-fi medium of data aggregation, providing input which shapes the ensuing gestures of Yen-as-Flesh-Analog.

Through this process, the artists ruminate upon the place of the body within evolving management systems increasingly informed by APIs (Application Programming Interface), our associative unconscious in the workplace, and Singapore's obsession with surveys and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

“Performance Review" is the first prototype of an ongoing dialogue about the idea of feedback.
