Google Marriage

‘Labour of Love’ is a speculative design project exploring the convergence of Capitalist interests and feminist politics. Currently, the largest datasets necessary for high-quality AI belong to profit-driven corporations like Google.

Marriage, protected by state rules and obligations, often sees a gender imbalance in unpaid work, with men statistically doing less than women in heterosexual relationships. This imbalance results in financial dependence for those who commit less time to paid work.

The project’s proposal “Google Marriage” aims to assess unpaid work within marriages using an AI agent. This concept features a Google wedding ring that records and evaluates movements and personal data collected by other Google apps.
