In this episode, Arno talks with Michael Arnold Mages and Stephen Neely about their book "Somaesthetic Design. The Experiencing Body and the Dynamics of Time". As they summarize in an interview on the publisher's homepage: "This book grew from a simple realization: our most powerful experiences are bodily and unfold in-time, yet much design still ignores felt time. Human experience manifests as gestures, rhythms, and flows, yet design practices have lacked a language for these understandings. This book bridges that gap, offering tools for designers that place time, embodiment, and lived experience at the center." Michael Arnold Mages teaches in the Information Design+Data Visualization and Experience Design programs at Northeastern University, where he is an Associate Professor of Design in the Department of Art & Design, and director of the Health and Wellness Design Lab. Stephen Neely is a teacher, theorist, and clinician who lectures and presents workshops in the fields of design, music, architecture, and pedagogy. He also is the Milton and Cynthia Friedman Associate Professor of Music and Director of Graduate Studies in the Carnegie Mellon University School of Music.
