The avant-garde movement in art and literature of the early 20th-century that sought to release the creative potential of the sub-conscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images is often termed as surrealism.
In the words of Salvador Dali, Surréalism is said to be the symbolic language of the subconscious; truly a universal language, it doesn’t depend on education, culture or intelligence.
Surréalism means cleansing your mind of what you have seen and be on the look out of "what has never been."

Look everywhere and anywhere around you. There is no escaping it.
Once that which was on the periphery has now engulfed us. It has invaded our minds, our lives, our passion and our profession. Every single thing that we care about in our life has been touched by high science, that went through a process of intense purification, only to leave us with an uniquely simplified version of its original form.

DON'T JUST THROW COUPLE OF FANCY CHAIRS AND A TABLE AND BE DONE WITH IT. DESIGN YOUR SPACE FOR CONVERSATION THAT SPARKS BRAND THINKING.
THIS IS A BAD TIME TO BE BORING
Setting aside the quickening of time factor, (another expression for another day), the simple truth is, — your clients and your prospects does not feel encouraged to interact with you because, you do not inspire them. More often than not, you have been dishing out half-baked product updates at trade shows, using the same kiosks and booth designs that does not infuse them with any new thoughts, or, nudge them to participate in your presentation, because, you have messaged it with the SOLE FOCUS ON YOUR PRODUCT.

... AND JUGGLING THE MIND
With search engines, media portals and social networking sites cluttered with dozens of links and banners ads and magazines scattered with inserts and advertorials, how do we break through the clutter to grab the attention of consumers? Increasingly, the long lost science of tracking eye movements is coming back in vogue as markets figure out how to make eye contact with their target customers.

seduction IS THE ONLY ART THAT STOOD THE TEST OF TIME
LET's face IT — WE ALL LOVE TO BE SEDUCED
Some of us are implicit about it and others are a tad bit explicit about it. We all long for this sense of restlessness that drives us to do deeds that are socially not quite the norm and culturally not quite acceptable. Here is what the master seducer have to say about seduction.

A FRESH NEW DAY.
FRESH new start, fresh beginningS — new questions, new delights and a new path to new self-discovery.
FRESH NEW LEARNINGS. YOU WOULD HOPE.
However, if #CES2017 was any guide, we have seen nothing that has shattered the perception of our reality or our sense of time and space. It was more of the same on their evolutionary path.
Other than, full-on "holographic" heads-up display from BMW, and some creative concept cars from Chrysler, Honda, Bosch and Toyota, the phones, cameras, new virtual reality and augmented/mixed reality products and drones clearly did not capture the hearts and minds of the attendees. At best, it was a warm up of what is yet to come.
