PROTO
/ INTERFACING BEYOND
NEW SYSTEMS

ABOUT THE EVENT
Proto is a prefix meaning first, original, or precursor to something. It’s what comes before everything else takes shape. It is a way of thinking about things in motion: identities, tools, and norms, and how we navigate the evolving relationships we form with them at the intersection of design and technology.

From the first tool carved from stone to today’s digital interfaces, technology has always been more than an artifact: a mirror, extension, language, and sometimes, paradox. With proto we open a space for what is still forming, a gesture toward futures that are unfinished, unknowable, and yet unfolding.

Join us for three days of exhibits, talks, and roundtables, hosted by the M.A. ‘Design for Digital Futures’.
