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.

Comment arrêter de scruter l'horizon et de fermer les yeux pour ne pas trouver de signaux émergents pendant les vacances ? La réponse est simple : c'est impossible. La recherche de signaux faibles est inhérente à certains types de personnalité (toujours en train de rechercher ce qu'il y a de nouveau) ou si vous êtes quelqu'un, comme moi, qui contribue à des réseaux de partage de signaux, vous ne pouvez tout simplement pas vous arrêter. Après avoir discuté avec d'autres experts en tendances et...
How to stop scanning and turning your sight off for novelty while on vacations? The answer is simple: It's impossible.

Il y a aussi cette pression constante que certains ressentent d'avoir une horloge au dessus de la...
