If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and the good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Avoidant attachment is more common than you think, and while it may feel like an unchangeable part of who you are, it doesn’t have to be your destiny.

Contemporary cultural style boosts transparency and instantaneity. These are values absorbed from our current economic conditions of disintermediation: cutting out the middleman. Like Uber, but for art. Immediacy names this style to make sense of what we lose when the contradictions of twenty-first-century capitalism demand that aesthetics negate mediation.

Flow is the ultimate twenty-first-century buzzword, but speedy circulation grinds art down to the nub.
