Data Artisans

This project revolves around the paradox of the value we place on things, and presents a co-design system that democratizes the creative process, basing it on collaboration between user and designers.
The system uses AAD (Algorithmic Aided Design) and gives the user the ability to decide how the object evolves visually, thus adapting to their tastes and needs. In this way, the desire to acquire an object is not generated by others, but remains inherent to the consumer.
The result is presented as a constructive criticism of today’s consumer society. We are used to having all kinds of products at our fingertips; however, we overlook the consequences that this entails. The inclusion of the design process proposed by Data Artisans aims to produce objects based on a real need, be it emotional or physical.
