Science Gallery Melbourne
14 Grattan Street, Parkville VIC 3052, Australia
This free exhibition plugs into the streaming torrent of content and the places our brains go when we want 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 we are bouncing around the whirring, flashing pinball machine of existence – is our wayward attention a way of coping with the chaos?
Visit Science Gallery Melbourne to experience the playful ways we devote our time in an increasingly nonsensical world. With a hundred tabs open and endless avenues to explore, how do we harness the cacophony of content and find meaning within it?
