Dissing Information
Why binary partisanship in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is hurting both sides, and what to do about it. This is our darkest hour, for me, for my children and for my loved ones. We, Israelis and Palestinians who believe in a shared equal society are grieving, we are violently attacked by the warmongers on both sides, … Continue reading Your Empathy is Killing Us
Infinitely scrolling down alternative feeds is getting us nowhere. To reinvent social media, we must imagine new socials. In the past few years, we’ve been experiencing a rough fallout from our prolonged honeymoon with social media. The imminent decline of Facebook and the chaos in Twitter opened the appetite for something different. Many of us … Continue reading No exit — every feed is a traffic jam @ UX Collective
I was super excited to keynote RISD & Brown’s 2022 Better World X Design conference this year and to present my Friction & Flow research on stage for the first time. In the talk I explore many of the topics I am currently researching towards a book. I expand on interaction topics like friction, flow, … Continue reading Friction & Flow @ RISD & Brown

I am cross-posting the opening here and encourage you to read the whole thing on the Visualizing Advocacy site (and get their wonderful book … Continue reading Disinformation Visualization: How to lie with datavis (the essay)
The following is a short essay I wrote for the 10th issue of Shoppinghour Magazine (UK) titled Feast on Listen. It involves what I refer to as an Audio-Spatial experience and is mainly inspired by my experience with the You Are Not Here project. For the past few decades digital storytelling have been delivered mainly … Continue reading Audio-Spatial Storytelling
I guess “NOW” is relative as the essay I wrote for Open Design Now is now at least 2 years old. But still I figured it makes sense to share. (on more than one level) I recommend reading this in the original site, but just as a backup I will publish it here as well. One of the reasons I waited with publishing it here in the blog (even though the whole book is CC-SA-BY licensed) is that the publishing model they took was to slowly publish the essays over a long period of time, one essay at a time. And the book was going from 0% open to 100% open. It’s an interesting model, certainly a compromise between the OPENESS tribe and the publisher’s concern over the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and the commodification of the content. Now that it is 100% open, and my essay is just slightly dated, I think it’s fair to share it here :)
