How do digital technologies shape the ways we sense, think, and relate—and how might we learn to live with them differently? Kate’s current book project, “Art of Attention,” approaches these questions through what she calls choreographies of attention: the patterned ways art and designed environments encourage us to look, move, and connect. Her research investigates how screens and immersive environments influence our bodily awareness and sense of self, and how attention emerges through our ongoing interaction with the world around us.

The aim is to show how the humanities can meaningfully contribute to flourishing research by offering both a clear language for understanding experience, and a set of approachable, embodied practices that help people navigate everyday digital life with greater awareness and agency.
