The project brings together living room furniture, media displays and open-source time-management software. The ‘NIKA.app’ was created in collaboration with software engineer and media artist Radamés Ajna, during a residency at FACTLab, for use in the communal Nika.haus housing collective in Frankfurt, of which Voss is a member. A video montage combines promotional trailers for existing time management software with footage documenting the app’s development and historical contexts. The project explores how time management tools (used predominantly in a commercial context) may be built and used for more socially responsible ends, such as the smooth running of a housing cooperative.

The furniture design is inspired by experiments in utopian modular living, in particular Ken Isaac’s Super Chair (1974), and Stafford Beer’s and Gui Bonsiepe’s Cybersyn Operations Room (1971).
