Listen "Seconds to Look"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we uncover surprising research on how we view art in museums, with the average visitor spending just 27 seconds per piece. We explore what this means for genuine connection, examining the “museum effect,” the role of labels, and the rise of the selfie culture. Can fleeting glimpses still spark meaningful engagement, or are we losing depth in the rush for Instagrammable moments? Discover how size, social dynamics, and personal attention shape the way we experience art, and why sometimes less can mean more.
