Erik Davis on Experience Design

Erik Davis postulates that human experience and perception is not intrinsicly and merely constituted within semiotic entity, but also beyond linguistic realm.

"Obviously roller-coasters exist within a network of symbolic associations. But the act of subjectively submitting your bodymind to a rollercoaster ride, and undergoing the resulting thrills of adrenaline, fear, and gut-fluttering sensation, cannot be directly assimilated to the network of significations that constitute the meaning of rollercoasters."
