Chronos vs. Kairos: The Battle for Attention

June 9 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join us for an interactive discussion and exploration of time. How do we experience it? Are we using it wisely? The technological advancements of the digital age enable us to keep our calendars full and our lives productive as ever, but at what cost?

The ancient Greeks had two concepts of time. Chronos is quantitative time, measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds. Kairos, is qualitative time or also known as “Deep Time”, an experience where our perception of Chronos stops or disappears, and we’re able to be truly present.

This event will invite you to examine and explore how these two concepts play out, and consider how we may cultivate greater mindfulness and deeper experiences in our daily lives and design practices.
