The Builders Association’s I AGREE TO THE TERMS

“I Agree To The Terms” is an interactive virtual event from the OBIE-winning The Builders Association, livestreaming for 12 performances, March 25 – April 3. Directed by Marianne Weems, “I Agree To The Terms” is being created in collaboration with a community of “MTurks” (Amazon Mechanical Turks) who train the algorithms that shape our online experience.

MTurks (or microworkers) earn from $1 to $100 a day in a vast, unregulated industry, executing assignments that are repetitive, boring, and sometimes disturbing. In this 45-minute online encounter, audiences will enter the “Builders Marketplace,” train with actual microworkers and compete for paying jobs while being timed, rated and ultimately paid (in virtual “Builders coin”).

The Builders Association is an NYC-based, cross-media performance company. They use the richness of new and old tools to extend the boundaries of theater, telling original stories that examine the impact of media on various cultures and communities.
