Rethinking Digital Life
How can technology invite a deeper sense of presence in everyday life?
Keywords: emerging technology, well-being
Modern technologies are increasingly pulling our attention away from our immediate surroundings and into the digital world. From the endless scroll of social media feeds to immersive virtual experiences, these platforms often fragment our attention and pose growing risks to mental health and emotional well-being.
In this project, we aim to design, build, and share prototypes that explore how technology can support presence, connection, and well-being in everyday, real-world interactions. By drawing on expertise in engineering, arts, and human-centered design, we seek to raise awareness of how technology can be reimagined to foster more mindful and meaningful interactions.
Skillset needs: I am interested in exploring art installations as a medium to raise awareness of digital wellbeing and to engage audiences with new kinds of technologies that invite a deeper sense of presence in everyday life.
