In Guy Standing’s “The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class”, he posited that globalization has led to a new emerging social class who are not only suffering from job insecurity but also identity insecurity & lack of time control, not least due to workfare social policies. Inspired by our reading of “The Precariat”, our research began by looking at the precariats in Indonesia and later led us to question how, not only the precariats, but all human beings in fact, live, deal and struggle with insecurities and uncertainties in our daily lives.

We find resonance in the uncertainty & insecurity of our everyday existence with that of 4D gamblers (penjudi togel), as a gambler’s reality is filled with uncertainties & insecurity albeit of a different nature and is based on predictions and speculation of events, and hope (of striking the right numbers). The project invites 4 gamblers to share their individual strategies, methodologies & anecdotes of their gambling experience.
