(Published January 2026)
We’ve all become unwitting casualties of passive consumption. The relentless scroll, the endless feeds, the profusion of choice - they pull us toward images, information and products we never intended to seek out. What follows is a quiet kind of fatigue: a fog that leaves us in a state of immobilisation. Are we ‘designed’ to be exposed to such an exhaustive overstimulation? How many of us, can ‘feel’ in the ‘here and now’?
In response, many of us are yearning for it to stop. This hyper accelerated technological change leaves us with destabilising stress and disorientation. We need engagement that feels grounded & tactile clarity of the analogue, objects and experiences we can touch, understand, and connect with directly. In an age defined by overstimulation, this desire is not nostalgic; it’s necessary.
