A brief colloquium on Jason’s interests

1.

Ephemeral and evergreen

As a digital hoarder, I tend to collect everything by default, including screenshots of menus used to order dim sum. However, I recognize that not everything is worth holding onto forever, and it's important to know when to let go of things that are temporary or passing. How can technology enable us to reconstruct or recontextualize these moments and make them useful again in the future?

2.

Time capsules and breadcrumbs

I believe that relying solely on screenshotting and favoriting tools is not the most effective method to retrace my steps with relevance. I envision a future in which we can jump back into a specific moment in time and gain a comprehensive understanding of the context and all the puzzle pieces. While screenshots serve as my current reference points, the process is manual and the volume is noisy. How can technology facilitate this process, allowing us to seamlessly return to a particular mindset or moment in time and access all necessary information?

3.

Fidelity and apertures

Our needs require us to view things at different resolutions. For example, we may need to view the rain forecast by the hour, day, or week. Ideas also evolve through various stages, starting from a few words or sketch, then turning into a discussion, and finally becoming an elaborate artifact. A single small action can have a significant effect, laddering to a goal within a particular domain, and achieving this goal affects our sense of balance and purpose. How do we represent and connect these different altitudes, and?

4.

Virtual, physical wellbeing

in an era of being extremely online, how do we empower technology to take care of us when we can’t take care of ourselves (screen time passwords aren’t personally working for me) and how can we aide in building better habits (focus modes, Apple Watch’s breathe and stand up features, are scratching the surface)

5.

Portals and containers

the window through which you access information (the browser) can thoughtfully intervene and interject, shifting behavior, knowing what you don’t know you need, or completely get out of the way — much of my work needed access to the foreground, where people are at (working in the browser) and owning the container unlocks so much potential of the above

6.

access and automation

AI as the next disruptor. This Rewind demo is insane. “Search engine for your life” — what are the implications of AI making available everything? What are the knock on effects? (think of ML today, alarmist news, Tiktok interests, echo chambers) — What is the redeeming vision? (what will prevent the next human experience of FOMO as a result of curating a digital impression?) We’re walking into a world where I can reference back to almost anything that happened, and make it useful again… But then who is “God” in this scenario, what are the ethics and obligations of disclosure (Are you obligated to delete an ex’s nudes?)

7.

Personas and personalities

thinking about how I shift into different people in different contexts. I’ve so neatly bifurcated my interests across different social media platforms, with differing accounts. It’s a lot of work as I sometimes message myself to other self-owned accounts, to keep the interests separated. Also, what’s it like to explore other parts of me that I’m still figuring out? What if I could try on someone else’s algorithm?

8.

Creation and creativity

As an artist who moved into design, I saw art = expressive, design = problem solving, and struggled forming a “voice” in my work; I learned part of my “voice” is the candidness and openness to play (riff, remix, force connections, iterate), and that freedom has unlocked infinite possibility in creation. Everything is a remix. How do we empower people to riff on one another, continuing to create, while honoring and attributing those before in an ethical way? What is the next generation of community, coauthorship, collaboration, in content creation (post co-present cursors)?
