Abstract
Rethinking the historical relation between boredom and creativity in the era of accelerated living, this chapters examines the impact of neoliberal globalisation’s culture of speed and connectivity on creative practice. It argues that boredom today has generally shifted from being an affected aesthetic pose involving stillness and retreat to become more of an involuntary response to the exhausting hyperactivity and excessive production characterising contemporary life.
