“Now it is only by labour that thought can be made healthy,
and only by thought that labour can be made happy”
~John Ruskin
CalHeatMap( work ) is an ongoing live project through which the artist will set out to document his productivity levels on a daily basis. A level of play takes place between the arbitrarily invented unit of measure (“work units”) and the high precision medium of display: a calendar heatmap. The artist, in an attempt to increase his mindfulness towards time and labour, paradoxically burdens himself with the added obsessiveness of logging every single action done throughout the day.
The calendar heatmap code was adapted from Kamisama’s original Cal-heatmap javascript module.
