My Degree show piece, Delivery boy, is an interactive video installation exploring people’s experiences working for various delivery companies in the gig economy. Viewers are invited to take on the role of a delivery rider by riding on a exercise style bike whilst viewing a point of view video of a rider making a takeaway delivery. The film features testimony from people who have recently worked as delivery drivers or riders.
