Edition of 100. 2-sided 7" record with Laser Etching

Directed and programmed by E.S.P. TV (Victoria Keddie and Scott Kiernan), “Lifestyle Guru” occurred as a one-night performance inside the office set of their exhibition “WORK”. For WORK, E.S.P. TV made Pioneer Works’ staff the subject of a six-week performative, televisual installation by relocating the organization’s entire functioning office to a studio set in the main gallery.

The staff’s “daily grind” was mixed live, on-site, with custom video effects and hourly commercial interruptions in the space. Far from peddling in the sensational tropes of reality TV, WORK instead turned banal, day-to-day office routines and patterns—the movement of a chair, a co-worker getting coffee—into the improbable, playful content of a serial TV program on New York cable TV and online.

Record #1 “Colony”, features Ian Hatcher as a chat-bot deconstructing a technocratic utopia through algorithmic poetry. Record #2, Ben Vida’s “Soft Systems Music”, uses facial recognition software as a compositional tool and record #3, “How to Survive a Psychopathic Presidency” by Jill Kroesen, is well... pretty self explanatory. Each record is a unique handmade object, laser etched in gold with accompanying material designed by the artists.
