This is from a description of Cuban artist Tania Bruguera’s Tatlin's Whisper series:
Esta obra es la #6 de la serie El susurro de Tatlin, que examina las relaciones de apatía y anaestetización con respecto a las imágenes utilizadas en los medios masivos de información.
Is it anesthetization??

Abstract:
A primary aspect of globalisation is the transformation of reality into image; this is the last stage of
the process of world’s aesthetization/anaesthetization, that converts cultural and artistic differences
into indifferent repetitions of the same thing. Moreover the image appears as the very reality,
because it dissimulates its image-characters. Therefore the «institutional theory of art» fails,
because in a reality that became image the exhibition in institutions cannot be used in order to
qualify something as artwork. In order to be distinguished from other simulacrums of the
mediascapes, an artwork needs to show the derealization of reality: it must offer the reflection of
image as image.
Resumen:
Un aspecto fundamental de la globalización es la reducción de la realidad a imagen, última etapa
del proceso de estetización-anestetización del mundo, que convierte las diferencias culturales y
artísticas en indiferentes repeticiones de lo mismo. Además la imagen, escondendo su carácter de
imagen, aparece como lo real. Entonces la «teoría institucional del arte» no funciona porque en una
realidad convertida en imagen, la exhibición en instituciones no sirve para definir algo como obra
de arte. Para diferenciar el arte de los otros simulacros del espacio mediatico se precisa la reflexión
de la imagen como imagen, es decir la exhibición de la desrealización de lo real.

anesthesia
I think it has to do with the concept of social anesthesia
Example sentence:
These are the people who are under the effect of a very heavy dose of anesthesia -- Social Anesthesia- administered to them by the crafty and opportunistic political doctors.

(apathy and) dullness
Liz and Eileen may well be right, but do you really want to use a word that is almost impossible to read without stumbling, the meaning of which is less than clear? Be creative and do the future reader a favour. "Apathy and dullness" is one way of conveying the meaning, perhaps.

Regardless of what the Spanish says, I believe "anesthetization" makes more sense, especially in conjunction with "apatía".
La idea es que la próxima vez que ese espectador se encuentre ante una noticia que utilice imágenes similares a la que él experimentó pueda advertir una cierta empatía personal hacia ese evento distante y ante el cual tendría normalmente una **actitud de desconexión emocional o de saturación informativa**
