In search of a new visual & motion language for human-centred neural technology.
Lovelace, Humanistic AI Lab, believes that new technology needs a better visual language.
Technology does not exist in isolation. As new technologies emerge, they bring new expectations, anxieties, behaviours, and cultures.
How we communicate technology shapes how people understand it.
Communication determines users’ mental models, influencing how they perceive, interpret, and interact with technology.
Now, as AI and neurotechnology become increasingly integrated into human life, we face a similar challenge.
Neural technology is highly abstract, complex, largely invisible, and still communicated predominantly through the language of science and engineering.
Brain scans, neural networks, glowing circuits, and futuristic interfaces have become familiar ways of representing it.
But do these images really help us understand what the technology means for humans?
What should we visualise or visibilise?
How can we make the invisible perceptible?
How might we communicate thought, intention, intelligence, sensation, and the relationship between humans and machines?
And what does human-centred really mean in technology design?
