Are We All Addicts Now? Digital Dependence is an artist-led enquiry
by Katriona Beales into digital hyper-connectivity and the
normalization of addictive behaviours through our everyday
interactions with digital devices. While internet addiction is not
yet considered an official psychiatric disorder, it is gaining
increased recognition as a behavioral phenomenon in both scientific
study and the popular press. This project is the first
interdisciplinary exploration of this burgeoning diagnostic
territory. The book combines visual and textual research, including
artistic works from Katriona Beales and Fiona MacDonald : Feral
Practice, alongside essays from contributors in the fields of
anthropology, digital culture, psychology and philosophy. Informed
by the latest scientific research, the book acknowledges the
increasing difficulty many people experience in controlling their
online habits. At the same time, it also thinks beyond the
biological model of internet addiction toward the social and
political dimensions that shape everyday online activities and
habit-forming behaviour. This book is co-edited by curator Vanessa
Bartlett and medical doctor and neuroscience researcher Henrietta
Bowden-Jones. It is published to coincide with a major exhibition
of new artwork by Katriona Beales at Furtherfield, London.
