Representing Pasts – Visioning Futures

The Screen, Intimacy, and the Attention Economy: Are We Ever Together?
L. Wu et al.

Abstract

View film

The screen functions like a self-sufficient marketplace full of stimulus that temporarily satisfies our every desire. It exists within the physical and digital realm, personal and public space, and entangles interpersonal relationships. Drawing from contemporary discussions around the attention economy from writers such as Yves Citton, Byung-Chul Han, and Shoshana Zuboff, this paper questions if the screen genuinely brings us together in a meaningful way, or if it functions as another apparatus for capitalist purposes. Popular social media platforms such as Tiktok, Instagram, Hinge, and OnlyFans allow us to connect with one another, near and far, to provide us with endless visually captivating materials that cater to our interests. Yet, these applications lure our attention into consumption and production, distracting us from true intimacy. We explore these applications as case-studies through art-based research to understand how we can regain control over our attention amongst information overload. Literature from Cultural and Communications Studies, Media Theory, and Psychology build our theoretical framework to examine the role of the screen within capitalistic power operations concerning intimacy and desire. Our research focuses on whether the screen can mediate our interactions and foster the human connection we deeply crave. As flat as a screen may be, can it also function as a site for togetherness, discourse, and resistance away from the capitalist agenda?
