Business Daily - How 24/7 life is rewiring our brains
Download How 24/7 life is rewiring our brains
A group of artists look at how our modern hyper-connected always-on lifestyles are affecting our behaviour and interfering with our sleep.
Their work has been brought together in an exhibition at London's Somerset House, called 24/7: A Wake-Up Call for our Non-Stop World. Manuela Saragosa takes a tour with director and co-curator Jonathan Reekie.
Plus the Canadian artist and author Douglas Coupland tells Manuela how he religiously guards his sleep hours in the name of creativity, and how he remembers the moment he realised his brain was being rewired by the internet back in the 1990s.
