In the Internet era the separation between labour and spare time (leisure) has become subtle as never before. Chat statuses are one of the most indicative representation of this con-temporary condition: available, busy, away or offline. “Leisure” is an ongoing time-based portrait of me, myself and the internet from the point of view of my temporary chat status symbols. Once per hour, 24/7, a script posts archives and over-exhibits my intimate Google Talk status through the www.temporarystatussymbols.com website forming an abstract and coloured texture from which users can date back any moments of my daily life.
