Tim Burton has opened up about his feelings towards using the internet ahead of the opening of a new exhibition in London.Speaking to BBC News to promote the launch of a new career retrospective, Burton said that “anybody who knows me knows I’m a bit of a technophobe.“If I look at the internet, I found that I got quite depressed.
It scared me because I started to go down a dark hole. So I try to avoid it, because it doesn’t make me feel good.”He continued: “I get depressed very quickly, maybe more quickly than other people.
But it doesn’t take me much to start to click and start to short circuit.”Burton has been directing for over 50 years. His most well-known films include Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Beetlejuice and its recent sequel, and he branched into television in 2022 with the popular Netflix Addams Family spin-off series Wednesday, which he has previously said reignited his career.The World of Tim Burton exhibition runs from October 25 to April 21, 2025 at the Design Museum in London.
It contains 600 items from across the filmmaker’s career, which organisers say give “a rare private glimpse into his creative process”.The director went on to share some ways that he avoids his internet-induced depression, including keeping busy, looking at clouds, and enjoying his collection of giant dinosaur models that he keeps in the garden of his London home.
