The Pause Is the Point

Interruption we design on purpose.

A research-showcase brochure that markets the School of Emergent Priorities' habit of designing deliberate interruption --- an eight-second wifi captive-portal notice, a single-ping parcel-locker reminder, and a signage screen slowed under an attention-governance policy --- citing three of the University's own published studies by title and DOI as evidence for the pitch.
