Data Prayers: What Are We Missing?, J Paul Neeley
‘It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.’
— Carl Sagan (1934–96)
My current design work deals with issues of data, complexity and computational irreducibility, and their relationships to human health and happiness. During my time in Design Interactions I have created systems, philosophies, brands and businesses, and I have used these as a medium for narrative and exploration. I am seeking to highlight the delusions of current design and business approaches, and — by under-standing their total impacts — to help us to see our current state and possible futures anew.
