The latest issue of Landfill Quarterly, an art subscription service, features a stress ball from MyNerva, a project by Piero Passacantando examining office culture. Passacantando will be present for Landfill’s presentation at Open Engagement, this weekend at the Queens Art Museum.
Passacantando’s interest in improving mental focus can also be seen in Breathe, with its instructions for a meditation exercise, available at make things (happen).

See the work of double zero in L O V E, a group exhibition at Montalvo Arts Center’s Project Space Gallery in Saratoga, CA through June 8.
While double zero were in residence at Montalvo earlier this year, they also developed Call This Number, an interactive experience especially made for make things (happen). Dial in.

How to focus in the age of distractions // Source: http://www.learningfundamentals.com.au
Like most people, I struggle with staying focused and exerting self-control over my mobile device addiction. I love this mind map by Jane Genovese, promoting offline time and space for reflection and identifying priorities. It’s a great reminder to connect with people, stretch more, and use site-blockers like StayFocusd—I’ll also look into Freedom and Anti-Social (I’d love a site blocker for my phone).
Next, I’m gonna try making my studio an gadget-free space, and leave my mobile at the door. Wish me luck!
