Attention has become the hegemonic form of capital. The exponential emancipation of media production has been met by a larger regime of media consumption. Screens seep into every toilet break and private exchange. Concurrent with this landscape is the changing make-up of public space, visible in France and elsewhere as an emptying out through privatisation and surveillance. 

The installation plays with the familiarity of contemporary urban architecture and mobile interfaces alike as if to subvert a common design language, through the idea of ‘nudges’ – markers for the implicit conditioning of choice, like the fly in the urinal or the red dot on the news feed. 

At the heart of a site-specific intervention rests a program broadcasting over a duet of screens. A real time collage of loose essays on the politics of attention. Paid, gifted, stolen, broken. Slices of life at high frame rate, text and voice memos, AI-regurgitated ads, piercing through the diverted design logic of today’s major platforms.
