(Impractical
Labor
in
Service
of the
Speculative
Arts)
was
founded
in
2008
by
Bridget
Elmer
and
Emily
Larned
in
order
to
foster
community
and
provide
for
shared
resources
among
artists
who
make
experimental
or
conceptual
art
using
obsolete
technology
.
It
"
favors
independent
workshop
production
by
antiquated
means
and in
relatively
limited
quantities
.
Economy
of
scale
goes
out
the
window
, as
does
the
myth
that
time
must
equal
money
.
Impractical
Labor
seeks
to
restore
the
relationship
between
a
maker
and her
tools
; a
maker
and her
time
; a
maker
and what she
makes"--From

ILSSA
