SEEN asks “what is the fruit of your labor?” to three communities sharing San Jose’s labor needs: tech savvy workers of Silicon Valley, undocumented workers engaged in menial tasks, and the virtual community of outsourced tech workers in India. An LED screen publicly displays their responses, visible only through the digital capture devices used by the audience.
