In an era where we find ourselves bombarded and often manipulated by an incessant stream of visuals, The Visual Detox is an indispensable guide. It empowers us to decipher the potency of imagery and to reinvent our personal visual and digital environments, as well as those within our communities.

Guillaume Cerutti, CEO, Christie's; author of 'Cultural Policy'

A set of principles for life, presented through a visual lens ... A guide to visual understanding that, just like MTArt, makes visual art accessible to the masses. If I’d have had this book ten years ago, the impact of my collaborative work could’ve been even more striking!

Anne Marie Imafidon, CEO, Stemettes, author of 'She's in CTRL'

Necessary reading for everyone who uses the internet

Emma Dabiri, author of What White People Can Do Next

It's very well researched and very informative to understand our visual consumption and how we can curate it.

As the media and digital worlds have evolved significantly over the past few years, this book is the new Ways Of Seeing. A requisite reading.

A timely manual that empowers the reader with both a consciousness of their visual reality, as well as tools to transform it. As a trailblazer in the art world [Marine] Tanguy is suitably placed to serve us as the trusted co-curator of our visual experience.

Waqas Ahmed, executive director of the The Khalili Foundation and author of 'The Polymath'

As someone who is using social media less and less, leaving my phone in the kitchen through the day so the temptation to scroll while working from home is (almost) eliminated and reading books more in the evening, this book on 'Visual Detox' is incredibly timely

Pippa Vosper, author of 'Beyond Grief'

Marine has taken such a complex topic and written one of the most accessible, captivating, hope-inducing and practical books I’ve read on media consumption. To say this book is important would be a serious understatement!

Africa Brooke, author of 'The Third Perspective'

I wish I’d read this book years ago... THE VISUAL DETOX, a necessary and astute book about the sinister consequences of our visual diets. What we see changes the way we think, live, work, love and more. The result? Mental and physical health issues, unhealthy relationships with ourselves and others, and yes, rampant bias and inequality.
