Memex Conference US 2023: Meaningful Attention

A day for discovering meaning in human experience

Attention is the obvious substance of the current digital era and is right now becoming its dominant currency. Focusing on whether the attention is meaningful refines the concept and ensures that media and user experience research is directed towards the whole human experience, including the motivations behind it, the targets ahead, and its present digital context.

 

In other words, combining neuropsychological and psychoanalytic theories: How can attention, seen as the inner psychological integration of perception, emotion, and cognition, fulfill real desires? This re-focus, on meaningful attention, raises different digital business puzzles and also addresses broader questions of our tech culture.

 

The first eye square “Memex Conference New York” featured a flurry of sparkling thought around this year’s motto: “Meaningful Attention”. There is growing awareness in the advertising and market research industries that merely technical and machine-oriented metrics are no longer sufficient to analyze what is happening on and beyond users’ screens. eye square and its partners are committed to helping both companies and consumers better understand, improve and ultimately enjoy the digital human experience. For this MEMEX functions as a format for cooperation and cross-fertilization between industry, technology, sciences and art.

 

One of the current key metrics is attention, which has become so central to many approaches, that some call our economy an “attention economy”. While there is certainly truth to that, mere focused perception is not enough to explain what is going on in the marketplace.

 

The human Face and Experience Research

September 15, 2022

Human face is the biggest determination of human perception and a symbol for human communication. How is the human face is crucial to create relationships in the digital? At the Memex Conference Germany 2022 on the 15th of September in Berlin, we want to discuss the superficial influences of faces as well as the deep human relationship. Join us!

Our new hybrid format combines the joy of real get-togethers with the reach of the digital: you’ll get to choose between a virtual ticket and a physical seat.
