PREFACE

Creativity Stifled when Alleviating Boredom The world we live in is a hyperactive and overstimulated one, with effortless access to a plethora of information around the clock. As technology growth saturates, perpetual engagement and the suppression of boredom become the norm. But boredom is not the enemy. In fact, it is highly necessary for creativity. According to the creative process as theorised by Graham Wallas, mind-wandering or incubation, is an important catalyst for creative breakthroughs. This constant need we have to fill up our attention void through engaging in activity is problematic, especially among local creative practitioners. The more we alleviate boredom through performing stimulating activities, the lower the chance for mind-wandering to occur.


Bored to Death is a visual compendium showcasing the variety of activities Lasalle students perform in their downtime. Though the sources of engagement vary, the conditions of each activity are consistent: it demands focus and high cognitive input. In other words, Lasalle students utilise their downtime to disengage from their academic tasks, only to seek stimulation in different forms. This practice hampers the production of novel insights, impeding the creativity so highly important to each member of the Lasalle creative community. Through different series of photo narratives, Bored to Death documents the culture of overstimulation in Lasalle, and the gradual demise of mind-wandering. Each series is an interpretive portrayal of how creative practitioners forsake the fruits of mind-wandering, for stimulating activities. From a process of mental mastication to something negatively-filtered, boredom has been undervalued and misused. The title Bored to Death is also a commentary on this subversion of boredom as it becomes a “dying art”, with little wonder why so many lament their frustrating “mental blocks” and lack of creative breakthrough. But beyond its eulogy to boredom, Bored to Death challenges the reader to flip this phenomenon around. Instead of being bored to inaction, this compendium inspires the reader to embrace boredom, in order to best facilitate their own creative process.
