I’d like to take this opportunity to put the tools I’ve learned in this class thus far toward a project I’m starting to develop for Design for Discomfort. The idea is to build a series of interconnected web pages filled with visual tactics commonly found all over the web to invoke extreme sensory discomfort toward its users. I also want to address our interactions in these systems and the resulting feedback loops that affect our actions. I aim for it to serve as somewhat of a timestamp for the current state of our digital landscape, and my hope is that it will prompt people to think about this kind of emotional/behavioral stimuli we all subject ourselves to.  What comprises our contemporary digital landscape? Is it different from, say, 10 years ago? If so, how is it different? What has changed, why, and what does it say about us in terms of what we are using the web for, what we want the web to be, and what it might become in the future?
