ONTO is a speculative design artifact that reimagines human coexistence with artificial intelligence, ensuring human agency, creativity, and sensory presence are not erased by seamless automation. Grounded in Ontological Design theory and Heidegger’s philosophy of breakdown, the project deliberately rejects the sleek, invisible interfaces of modern technology in favor of physical friction, analog elements, and tactile, organic presence. By transforming digital technology into a tangible physical entity, ONTO introduces intentional resistance to disrupt passive habits—forcing moments of reflection that cultivate critical thinking, creative agency, and heightened awareness in our everyday interactions with AI.
