The Media Workshop welcomes the authors of this documentary which immerses us in the work of the little hands that run the applications that we have on our phone.

Publicity

"Invisibles, click workers" is the title of a survey, a four-part documentary produced by StoryCircus and broadcast on FranceTV Slash , YouTube and PeerTube, which presents employees of Uber, Facebook and Apple . Not those who design and develop these tools, rather those who make it possible to obtain a precise response to a Google request, to have a hot dish delivered to your home in the middle of the night or to quickly obtain a explanation to a question asked on Facebook or Twitter.

The Media Workshop welcomes the two authors of “Invisibles, the click workers”:

  • Henri Poulain , director of the series
  • Julien Goetz , co-author.
