INTERFACE FRICTIONS: How Digital Debility Reshapes Our Bodies

March 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The image shows the book cover of Interface Frictions by Neta Alexander. It shows a black background with minimalist white and teal gradient icons arranged vertically: a half-lit sun for brightness, a play button inside a circle, a circular replay arrow, and a simplified human figure inside a circle for accessibility. Title “Interface Frictions” appears in large thin lettering between the play and replay buttons. The subtitle “How Digital Debility Reshapes Our Bodies” appears on the right by the replay and accessibility buttons. The author's name also appears written to the right of the play button.


Friday, March 13, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Michelson Theater, 721 Broadway, 6th floor

In Interface Frictions, Neta Alexander explores how ubiquitous design features in digital platforms reshape, condition, and break our bodies.
