Rational Inattention is a curated visual anthology exploring how selective perception shapes identity, memory, and society in an age of distraction and excess.
Through photography, visual essays, and design, the publication brings together 22 artists whose work reflects on what we choose to notice, what we overlook, and how attention is shaped by digital saturation, media systems, and personal bias.
Structured around thematic threads: memory, collective behavior, digital presence, control, and reconnection with the physical world. The project offers a layered reading experience. Contributors such as Marie Wengler, Marcel Top, Diego Brambilla, Ja Young, and Berto Herrera anchor the publication across a range of visual and conceptual approaches.
Printed in Japan using high-quality uncoated papers and bound in a softcover with elastic binding loop, Rational Inattention offers a tactile space for reflection in an overstimulated culture.
