PRAAB (Programme de Réhabilitation à l’Amitié et à l’Amour par le Bureau) is a nonlinear fiction video game accessible online, shaped during the pandemic and imagined for anyone nostalgic about office culture. Through endless caricatural conversations about birthday cake or coffee breaks, and before venturing back into real-life workspaces, you might recover your social skills while relearning how to interact physically with a colleague. 

 

Behind its humoristic tone, Chrystèle Nicot and Antoine Alesandrini try to expose a prospective point of view about the future of work organization and cinematographic productions; now we are all living in a disruptive digital era. How could automatisation and teleworking erase one of the biggest social models of the 20th century? And how could this story be told to a new generation of viewers?  

 

Chrystèle Nicot (1989) and Antoine Alesandrini (1985) are an artist duo whose practice moves seamlessly between film, installation, and sculpture. Their work is concerned with the intersections of cultural economy and technology. They live in Paris.
