Temporary Highs<\/i><\/a> is an ongoing research project and series of linked exhibitions by curator\u00a0Lindsay Howard\u00a0that explores how the structure of the internet enables reward-seeking behavior in a compulsive cycle of sharing and consumption. It focuses on artworks that operate in a space where immediate gratification is paramount and multitasking has become a requisite social behavior. Featuring works by Pascual Sisto<\/a>, Addie Wagenknecht,<\/a>\u00a0Petra Cortright<\/a>, Hannah Perry<\/a>, among others, this screening examines the pleasure and anxiety around these experiences as well as the constant search for validation, understanding, and connection.<\/p>\n
