#NewMacy Studio
So much of today’s technology manipulates and distorts the world we share. Yet “Today’s AI” could swing back toward our biological roots by presenting analogue interactional frameworks as countervailing examples. Novelty and choice, transparency and conversation can become new design patterns in a collection of concepts and working prototypes that inspire positive change. These exemplars in the form of interface designs and underlying algorithms will be offered to designers, students, teachers, and entrepreneurs as a more humane and richly rewarding alternative to today’s online experiences.
KEYWORDS: pandemics, wicked challenges, second-order cybernetics, systemic change, ontological security, conversation, ontogenetic resilience, recursive feedback.
