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.

Back after a few weeks of vacation, I had the opportunity to pass through several towns and villages in the Canadian Maritimes, and I was struck by the number of clothing donation boxes in certain municipalities (supporting proof attached). They seem to have become an omnipresent element of the landscape, testifying to a growing trend towards the illusion of donation and 'recycling'. In this edition, we'll explore how the role of thrift stores is evolving, what challenges they face, and how...
De retour après quelques semaines de vacances, j'ai eu l'occasion de traverser plusieurs villes et villages des maritimes canadiennes, et j'ai été frappée par le nombre de boîtes de dons de vêtements dans certaines municipalités (photos à l'appui). Elles semblent être devenues un élément omniprésent du paysage, témoignant d'une tendance croissante vers l'illusion du don, du 'recyclage' et de la seconde main. Dans cette édition, nous allons explorer comment le rôle des friperies évolue, quels...

Après avoir discuté avec d'autres experts en tendances et...
