Distraction

This free exhibition plugs into the streaming torrent of content and the places brains go when it wants to focus on anything but the thing. You know… that thing you’re supposed to be doing right now?

Your distraction of choice could be scrolling, daydreaming or escaping into a digital universe. When minds are bouncing around the whirring, flashing pinball machine of existence – is wayward attention a way of coping with the chaos?  

Visit Science Gallery Melbourne to experience the playful ways humans devote their time in an increasingly nonsensical world. With a hundred tabs open and endless avenues to explore, how is it possible to harness the cacophony of content and find meaning within it?

Now showing at Science Gallery at the University of Melbourne, where art and science collide.
