Rebecca Moccia takes part in Compulsory Continuous Connectedness: rest in a networked world, a group exhibition at Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea.
Exploring the impact of networked media on our collective mental wellbeing, the exhibition is led by a new commission and research by artists Romy Gad el Rab and Caroline Sinders, and brings together works by Helen Cammock, Nina Davies, Rebecca Moccia, Salvatore Vitale and Qualeasha Wood.
Moccia presents Ministry of Loneliness (2022–2024), a work that examines the emotional impact of living within constantly networked systems.
Together, the works reflect on the ways digital platforms are reshaping our everyday lives, while considering whether the alternative to our networked world might not simply be to switch off, but rather to activate a different kind of thinking, in which rest can become both a form of resistance and a means of replenishment.
