Can you read this text without interruptions? Attention is a form of alienation: the point is to know what to be alienated by.
That’s why we all seem lost, searching for something, even when we are just making a few imperceptible gestures attached to small shining bubbles, and it is unclear who is listening and who is speaking, who is working and who is having fun, who really finds something and who is just confused. Did you make it this far without shifting your gaze? Really? And isn’t this effort to do just one thing at a time unbearable? Look around you: how many other things grab your attention? Now look at yourself from above: can you see yourself? The surfaces of the most densely populated areas of the Earth are covered by a thick fog of messages, images, and sounds in which people move, interact, and sleep. Sometimes louder noises arise, which the fog immediately absorbs as it flashes and resonates. From here, the planet simply seems too noisy and distracted to survive – even glaciers are melting too slowly for anyone to pay attention to it. Let’s return to the ground and look closely: we are all mutating… into something very, very fast.
