From algorithm to artisan: Crafting new lifestyles for a circular future

Fast trends and digital algorithms drive a cycle of overconsumption, exclusion, and anxiety. In contrast, a counter-culture of Artisanal Intelligence uses craft, tradition, and human skill to challenge the ideal of endless newness with creativity, care, and durability. This panel will explore how fashion and product design can evolve into a force for more inclusive, sustainable, and plural forms of aspiration, reprogrammed to foster belonging, diversity, and resilience.

Speaker: 

• Tamari Aptsiauri - Co-founder and CEO of the Gergian women-led fashion brand COSMO
• Anneleen Bertels - Co-curator of Artisanal Intelligence, EU project presented in Osaka
