Sandberg Critical Studies Department: Your Attention, Please

‘Your Attention, Please’ is a collective project by participants of Critical Studies at the Sandberg Institute, for a seminar lead by Amelia Groom.

“Through various points of distractive focus—with topics ranging from boredom, love, jazz, fidgeting, footnotes, Modafinil, mothers, exhaustion, psychoanalysis and Cher, to the architectural manipulation of distraction, the unwelcome attention of surveillance, the radical potential of juvenile attentiveness, and the possibilities of absent-minded poetics—the texts in this publication are all exercises in the imaginative arts of attention” (Amelia Groom)
