Don't Look Away: The Attention Economy at Play

What if everything you interacted with online was designed to keep you logged in?

At its best, digital design enhances our experiences, creating personal, immersive and gratifying interactions. At its worst, it exploits our habits, our psychology and even our trust.

Urgent limited-time offers. Constant notifications. Daily rewards that keep you coming back for more. Where does engagement end and exploitation begin?

Join the conversation as the curtain is pulled back on the hidden influences at work in game, web and graphic design this Melbourne Design Week.

Together, with a panel of experts including Deb Polson, Dr Jeannie Paterson, Dr Andrew Perfors and Darcy Smith from Studio Folly, explore the responsibilities designers have in shaping online experiences.
