The most important thing nowadays is how we spend our time and what we pay attention to. The main fight today is the fight for audience attention.

\nIn the space of the workshop, which became some sort of a laboratory for me, I started following my own creative process, thus becoming both the examiner and the examinee.
\nThe main object of observation is my own look combined with the cognitive process, which took place during thorough examination of white canvasses (in general, we try to make sense of the very things we are looking at). I followed my look with the help of an eye tracker \u2013 a special device widely used in marketing surveys for tracking user behavior and gathering information on the direction where a user looks at a specific moment.
\nThroughout my experience, at the beginning of which I feared the clean white canvas, I analyzed the qualities artists are valued for: their ability \u2018to see something bigger\u2019, to pay attention to details, \u2018to change optics\u2019 and, as a result, I reproduced the proverbial artistic look at things.<\/p>\n
