Trendsletter #14 - Can art be a search engine? 🖼️ 🔍
Hello,
Can art be a search engine?
What I mean by that is: is it possible to generate strategic thinking and start in-depth research from a work of art?
I believe it is, here's why:
- Because art shows reality differently, from another angle, from another eye, on the fringes.
- Because artists are specialists in shedding light on society's flaws, major issues and failures
- Because they are experts at exposing emerging feelings
Also because art is not designed in a practical way, but well designed to move, feel and make people think
Art is not factual or equivalent to a percentage in a database, it is difficult to read, which is precisely why it is full of ideas, of inspiration. Art also helps in the research phase to ...
- Take the pulse of society and yourself: Clarifying what is going on right now helps you see more clearly (insight).
- Get out of the internet and collect ideas, messages and information other than behind a screen
- Free the mind (closely linked with the reason above)
- Conceptualize / visualize ideas, dah! In order to communicate them better afterwards.

This newsletter is brought to you by... the keen interest in my latest Linkedin post, (don't click just yet!), continue reading here, because here I go into more depth on the subject of the future of our credit cards and which models seem to stand out from the crowd. Speaking of a crowded space, I combed through more than twenty Big 6 credit card benefits, and here are my take aways on the benefits offered; they cover the majority of the time: The plane & the airport: flights, lounge, seats,...
Cette infolettre vous est présenté par.... le vif intérêt de ma dernière publication Linkedin, (ne cliquez pas tout de suite!), continue la lecture plus tot, car ici je vais plus en profondeur sur le sujet de l'avenir de nos cartes de crédits et quels sont les modèles qui semblent se détacher du lot.
