As part of Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau’s artist commission with Open School East, He presents three online seminars about communication on the internet.
In the final seminar we’ll spend time understanding and critiquing the structuring ideology of the attention economy. We’ll look at artists, activists and other practitioners who have interrupted the attention economy in different ways: diverting and disrupting attention in order to make political statements, offer critique, or create moments of aesthetic instability in the flows of attention we direct towards broadcast and networked media.
