How does one stay afloat within the violence of digital capitalism? How does one stay still or do nothing when one is also constantly forced to move and work—a problem particularly pressing for persons of colour, who have historically been seen as lazy or idle? To think through this impasse, we may turn to artists who work from the feeling of deadlock and digital lethargy. They do not show us ways to envision a world in the future, nor ways of escaping from the one in the present. Instead, they show us a way to listen better to the world that has been with us all along, as long as we have the patience to sit with its disappointments.
