I saw this image on fffound! this morning.
The name of this photo might as well be "The Sad Reality of Our Existence." Is this the inevitable reaction to an overdesigned world? When media and technology becomes ubiquitous, what can we do to escape sensory overload?

The most exclusive brand in the world does not sell anything. Nor does it provide values, programs, or policies. It doesn't have a web site, a retail presence, a Facebook profile, a customer or member base. It is not clear whether the brand is a company, a non-profit, a political organization, a club, or a person.
