the past two years at @itp_nyu galloped by; i knew going in that it would be over before it began, but it turns out you can’t pre-feel your way through anything, and i’m so, so glad i got to be here for the time that i was. 

(i’m also glad my body waited to get dramatically sick until after thesis presentations and the final showcase, although i am left with an as-yet unworn purple polyester gown)

this is a see-you-later, not a goodbye, not least because i’ll be working at @itpcamp again starting in a couple weeks. but the specificity of these two years, and especially this cohort of people, can’t be replicated. how lovely is it to have something like this to miss?

It was an absolute delight to welcome 250+ people into @theblanc_ny , where @uaad.art presented Attention//Distraction, an exhibition inviting viewers to re-examine how our attention is engineered and mediated, and how artists might use distraction as a strategy to redirect our gaze.

Over the course of the exhibition, we witnessed people spending 4+ hours in the gallery, returning two days in a row, or arriving hesitant to touch anything for fear of breaking something, only to eventually immerse themselves completely in the pieces and interactions around them.

The conversations, curiosity, vulnerability, playfulness, and generosity that emerged in the space reminded us that attention is not only something being extracted from us, but also something we can consciously offer to one another.

We are deeply grateful to all the incredible artists who trusted us with their works and visions, and to everyone who spent time with us in the space.

Special thanks to @theblanc_ny ‘s huge support for this exhibition and helping make it possible.

None of this could have happened without the artists:
