Rethinking Digital Life
How can technology invite a deeper sense of presence in everyday life?
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.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
