At long last my article arguing against data-driven design methods in favor of aesthetic, soulful digital experiences has been published in ACM Interactions (Nov/Dec 2009): Data, Design, and Soulful Experience. Extra special thanks to Co-Editor in Chief Jon Kolko for asking me to contribute some thoughts on this critical topic. Indeed, in the magazine’s table of contents, you’ll see that my article is just one among several excellent pieces concerning the authenticity of experience and theories of humanity. Because, in the end, that’s what it’s all about–striving for that enchanting, delightful, and authentic engagement that makes us that much more…human.
