But how, in our culture of distraction, might we extend attention? Slow Art models sustained ways of looking, through encounters with various media both present and past-including photography, painting, sculpture, \"living pictures,\" film, video, digital and performance art-even light and space. Works by Diderot, Emma Hamilton, Oscar Wilde, Jeff Wall, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Andy Warhol, and Richard Serra, among others, shape a new and distinct aesthetic field.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut rather than a collection of objects, slow art is participatory-it directly engages beholders to bring artworks to life.
