Alexis Lloyd, a Parsons alumna and the Creative Director of the New York Times Research & Development Lab, will discuss how we relate to technological systems, illustrate how these relationships are undergoing a paradigm shift, and will propose a new set of values for how we design future interactions with such systems. She will also show how the work she is directing in the Times R&D Lab applies those values to near-future prototypes for experiences around news, media, and information.
