Activity Tableau

2015 – 2018
Activity Tableau series by contemporary artist Carsten Becker
The Activity Tableau series transforms Carsten Becker's digital work time documentation into analog screen prints. Each portrait-format panel visualizes one calendar year as a systematic dot grid: 52 rows represent weeks, each dot's radius corresponds to daily work time. The chronological arrangement over two decades reveals biographical development from fragmented early patterns to dense structures, reflecting the internalization of capitalist efficiency logic.
