Hot Desk is an intervention into public space that explores questions of cultural production, real estate interests, and how public space is apportioned. Co working is a movement among middle to upper class digital and artistic producers that has developed out of the lack of affordable working amenities / spaces. Due to over inflated real estate costs, renting a desk can be upwards toward some individuals domestic monthly rent. Hot Desk proposes to reclaim public space toward the aims of making cultural production a once again viable pursuit.

The project consists of a briefcase that, once unfolded, extends into a standing, sitting, or kneeling desk. The desk is equipped with a power outlet and extension cord. The project documentation also consists of companion meta data in the form of guerrilla installed placards as well as an online map outlining available amenities such as power, wifi, climate concerns, and atmospheric information. The project is in progress and will be updated regularly here
