I pepsi what you're saying.

If it isn't an elaborate joke, then someday I want to talk with the creator at great length.

I have no doubt creating the design was much less intensive than his rambling story, but the company spent the money on him specifically and I'm sure they expected the rambling story.

That's why I hate this part of art culture, the fakeness of it all. The obvious fakeness that people clap for because they think it makes them look more intelligent by nodding along.

Solid gold, start to finish.

The corporation wanted to give him all that money. They are both playing a stupid game.

I'd say I agree with the instinct to just get that bag, but the fact that such people even exist and the fact that they steer the culture of the art world drives me crazy. The CIA has done irreparable damage to art.

Andy Kaufman tier.

Currently it is on display at the Art Institute Of Chicago. Here is an uncroppd version of the picture I posted.

Even if that is factual, the company went to this high profile designer because they wanted a story to go along with their logo.

It was a completely sunny afternoon with a clear view of the highway (stressing afternoon which means the high had been in full sun all day to especially melt any possible ice), with the snow pushed aside two days ago, the highway salted on the days before the day in question; not a puddle or dark spot in sight on the highway.

No need for snow tires as it was direct tire to asphalt contact with no snow or ice on the highway itself. It was the best possible visibility for driving. If somebody is going 35 in those conditions on a 65 highway, they should not be driving.

Obviously they overpaid, but it was the company's choice in a form of conspicuous consumption.

I feel conflicted because graphic design is a necessary job, but just from skimming over Kenya Hara's history and work he strikes me as an avatar of all the most pretentious and pseudo-intelligent aspects of the modern culture of art that I hate.

The claim that it took him four years to design the logo is, on its face, garbage, but for people like him the process and the story of making the logo is how he created and maintains a veneer of being deep and working on a heightened creative and intellectual level. Had he taken the contract and returned in a week with the exact same logo and said "Yeah I messed around a little in photoshop and I think it looks pretty nice." then it wouldn't be worth $300,000. Everything in the world of these people needs an overdrawn explanation and story of creation and meaning and it makes me want to projectile vomit on or near them.

Yesterday, on a 65mph limit highway that had been completely cleared of snow and ice (there was zero black ice) I encountered multiple cars going 55mph or slower. In one case about 35. I don't understand.
