Human Capital vers. 0.1.017  is piece of voice [text.sound] 
composition software, packaged as a training tool for call center 
agents in India. Part tool part satire, the software parodies the 
'communication philosophy' of the burgeoning remote processing 
industry, namely its concept of a generic 'globalised' identity.

At the same time Human Capital attempts to invert the logic of 
telematic communications structures when appropriated by capital, by 
allowing, through composition potential, for processes which might 
frustrate // subvert the mechanisms of modelization and homogeneity.

Human capital presents a simulated call center environment. On 
entering this environment users receive a randomly generated client 
query and must subsequently construct, from a library of stock 
phrases // words // and adopted identities, responses to these 
queries.  Tele-workers can then potentially re-appropriate and mutate 
possible identities, disconnecting from capital.  By dragging text 
sound clips onto a timeline, much like conventional music software, 
the software hopes to introduce the potential for mixing // morphing 
// and mutation within an otherwise mono environment, opening up 
'fissures in pattern subjectivity'. Ie. This sucks but i can fuck 
with it.
