In a poetic commentary that highlights contributions made by pioneers in communications thinking, Nathan Felde ponders how technology—now so pervasively able to gather information, capture what formerly was invisible, camouflage reality, and target audiences‐comprises and compromises the expression of individuality in the visual world. It is a treatise cautioning all to remember that design must ennoble rather than devalue the human being.
