Damian Madden - Co-Founder, A.SINGLE.PIECE Gallery & Australian Customer Experience Leader of the Year

Damian Madden is an artist, author, and experience architect working at the intersection of presence, perception and design. His practice spans immersive retail, digital ecosystems, and conceptual art, unified by a deep fascination with the moments we often overlook, the pause before action, the residue of memory, the emotional weight of detail.

He is the co-founder of A.SINGLE.PIECE, a minimalist contemporary art gallery that displays only one artwork at a time, inviting deeper engagement in an age of distraction. His conceptual art project M//LOOM imagines a future where machines study human art to understand what it means to feel, a meditation on memory, absence, and the limits of artificial intelligence.

Damian’s creative systems, including the Experience Compass and the Experience Arc, help brands transform fragmented touchpoints into connected, emotionally intelligent ecosystems. His work is used by businesses and cultural leaders seeking to turn commercial spaces into sites of meaning.

His book, Random Acts of Art, explores how art can rewire the way we see, feel, and live. Whether through fashion, spatial design, or speculative futures, Damian’s work invites us to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the power of presence in a world that’s always rushing past.
