Greatest Hits
Saturday, 1 March 2014
Work from Idle Resources at Tristian Koenig.
“Tristian Koenig is delighted to present Idle Resources, Greatest Hits first solo exhibition with the gallery and the first exhibition of the
2014 season. Idle Resources engages with the fallout of the attention economy. It reflects on the extremes of cognitive connection and
disconnection, focus and distraction, within our highly mediatized society.
Attention economics is an approach to the management of information that treats human attention as a scarce commodity, and applies
economic theory to solve various information management proble ntemporary [sic] consumption.
For the exhibition, Greatest Hits will present three suites of new work that probe different areas of the attention economy – from the
aesthetics of acoustic damping and pharmacological treatment of attention deficit disorder (ADD), to a soliloquy on the pervasive
presence of screen-mediated experience.
