"The repetition-of-the-same characterizes an everyday temporality experienced as a debilitating boredom. What makes the assembly line such a telling exemplification of everyday modernity is not the specificity of the factory environment, but the generalized condition that it points to: ‘plodding’, ‘monotony’ – the emptiness of time. What makes continuous production register so vividly is the regulating of time within the widespread conditions of industrialization. From the point of view of the everyday, industrialization is not something limited to factory production, but something registered in nearly all aspects of life." - Ben Highmore.
