Radical Change & Big Data

During the 4 workshop days of 2014, Future Concept Lab will present the main social and consumption dynamics, analysed through algorithms created by iCoolhunt (www.icoolhunt.com). At each meeting projects, places and products will be presented amidst a flow of changes, and the re-launching of identities, future relationships and new perspectives within diverse production sectors.

The 2014 training route will develop over the course of the four workshops at Teatro Elfo Puccini, (C.so Buenos Aires 33, Milan). Additionally, two innovative strategy sessions will be held on June 27 and November 28, 2014 at Future Concept Lab’s HQ in Milan. These sessions will enable the sharing of scenarios and potential project directions that have emerged during the various seminars.

10th April 2014 - Aesthetics
GENIUS PLUS
The discovery of uniqueness within the design dimension, starting from individual creative talent and virtue

Radical change and future identities move towards the recognition of personal uniqueness, in terms of human touch and creative potential. Inner “genius” and personal creative ability as the differentiating factor (Genius Plus) needed to consolidate forms of excellence from an aesthetic, as well as a more strictly economic and social point of view.

The ongoing search for relative maximum satisfaction

    STRATEGIC CONCLUSIONS
9th October 2014 - Communication
INSTINCTIVE RE-COGNITION
Reciprocal, permanent and universal mirroring

Instinctive Mirroring, according to neurological impulses, is a reality that will only later be culturally processed. Instinctive Re-Cognition, is instead an element of communication whereby the individual demonstrates not only to be a social animal, but also an empathetic subject. A basic identity that the web has mobilised and amplified.
