Only art can save us from our technological hold
OvercomingTech.org is a nonprofit dedicated to helping people understand how technology shapes our thoughts, habits, and social world. Through art, we can find clarity and re-balance our relationship with the tools we've built.
Technology gives and takes
Our media can and will take over our lives if we do not intentionally seek balance

“The effects of technology do not occur at the level of opinions or concepts, but alter sense ratios or patterns of perception steadily and without any resistance.
— Marshall McLuhan in Understanding Media, 1964
Art is an alarm system through which humanity is made aware of its own numbness to new technology.
We integrate the creative arts with education to combat the ill effects of technology in a digital library free for all to access.
We envision a society that properly integrates technology as a tool.
Not everyone is equipped to bargain in this invisible negotiation—many people do not even realize there is a deal taking place in their lives.
Art brings communities together; it also serves as a way for individuals to re-balance their lives when technology takes it over too much of it.
