This work aimed to raise questions about productive time and cognitive labour in relation to Digital Technologies by monitoring a week in my life using the smartphone and social media.

The title of the performance refers to the time that a worker arrives at work, by
recording the time of arrival and exit on a special machine.

During the week of the performance, from Monday to Sunday, I took two selfies a day; one in the first moment of the day I handled my smartphone and one in the last, and published them in real time in my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

On a physical exhibition space, the piece has been exhibited through digital documentation of the action on a tablet.

The piece was reenacted in 2023 within the framework of Not only what, but also how at Oficina Cultural de España (Washington, US).
