Abstract
This thesis explores the symbiosis of artificial intelligence and digitial technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, and the built conditions of the contemporary factory. These technologies are ushering in a future where the human laborer may be rendered obsolete. Assuming that this shift is true, what are the alternative realities for these post anthropocentric labor environments?
