In recent years, the attention economy has been a major topic in the context of media change. But how do artists deal with the latest phase of the attention economy and the associated new media technologies, which are actually media environments, and with changing patterns of reception, distribution, consumption, and prosumption? What methods do they develop to critically reflect or transform these in their artworks? How do they negotiate the recipients’ attention and involvement in art spaces? How do recipients watch, listen to, touch and smell art in today’s increasingly hybrid media environments? And what new theoretical approaches are needed to conceptualize a media world that seeks to automate and control the attention of media consumers through algorithmic influence and control? This series of explorative workshops invites artists and theorists to discuss these questions together and to look beyond existing approaches to the attention economy.
