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.
