Art Trip: Douglas Coupland and Garnet Hertz at A Wake Up Call for Our Non-Stop World GlobeArts

by Vancouver-based artist Garnet Hertz, a member of the faculty of design and dynamic media at Emily Carr University and Canada Research Chair in Design and Media Arts. The work presents a simple enough challenge: deposit your device into a slot, crank a wheel that starts a timer, and wait. The phone will be returned, eventually – as long as passersby don’t hit the red button that adds more time to the lockdown.

We know that too much screen time is bad for us. Three in 10 Canadians believe their mobile device “definitely” or “probably” listens to them without their permission, says a 2019 report by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. But like moths to a flame, our distrust doesn’t stop us from staying glued to our handsets’ glow for, on average, three hours a day. Exhibition curator Sarah Cook is game to accept Hertz’s dare.
