How do we construct meaning? How can something be charged with significance beyond its surface? It's the reason money exists, money means nothing if not attached to value.

This should be considered now more than ever. Algorithms decide what reaches us and when. Your feed curated like a personalized slot machine. We have optimized away the possibility of being caught off guard by delicacy, by strangeness, by the thing we didn't know we needed to see.

We have made the world very smooth and we wonder why nothing pierces anymore.

Your attention is a hot commodity these days, its what supply's the never ending feed. Some people would do anything to grab your attention, most don't even play fair.

but remember, its your attention. You're allowed to do whatever you want with it.

We hope you are able to draw your attention to something worth while.
