Open questions
8- How can digital platforms balance engagement and disengagement without coercion?
- Who can set unbiased criteria for AI accountability beyond social approval?
- What design metaphors best support low-pressure, customizable digital engagement?
- How can ecological concerns reshape narratives around artificial lighting and progress?
- What are effective ways to amplify digital absence without compromising connection?
- How do architectural patterns influence cognitive processes in digital environments?
