La temporalità degli ecosistemi digitali ha ridefinito il modo in cui percepiamo e organizziamo il tempo, privilegiando efficienza e produttività. Le tecnologie digitali, progettate per accessibilità costante, disconnettono l’esperienza umana dai ritmi naturali e generano un tempo inabitabile, coreografato da ‘tecnoperformance temporali’ che impongono gesti e ritmi frenetici, con impatti psicologici rilevanti, comportando l’introduzione del ‘benessere digitale’ come dimensione chiave della salute mentale. L’Interaction Design, come interprete della relazione tra umani e digitale, ha la responsabilità di affrontare queste dinamiche, ripensando la progettazione come pratica etica e consapevole del tempo. Il contributo propone una revisione critica della letteratura in design e scienze sociali, per valutare in che modo le pratiche di Interaction Design influenzino o possano mitigare l’alienazione temporale.
