PI Market Apparel Opening Keynote: ‘Genetics & A.I., ‘What we can now learn that will lead to more successful and impactful products’

“Where this gets interesting is when you start to imagine how developers and designers might translate this theory into software around digital photography, in the realm of cybernetics. It will soon be possible to teach or programme a machine how to find something attractive or sexy. It isn't necessarily what that machine could do if it was created that’s interesting, the big question here is what can we learn and improve about the way that we live with technology today by exploring the way that the human brain reads beauty, validation and status cultures.”

“I’m curious about the exploration and development of this kind of project, in its ability to lead to a greater understanding and control of how we conceive designed objects and technologies. Be that a new lipstick, jacket, or building designed around an exact consumer profile, a digitalized wardrobe system, an internet dating service, a social media platform, a smartphone interface, or a genetic editing service.”

The Fine Print, Post-Truth World Issue

“Who are you, who would you want to become if you could change yourself in any way imaginable? How is technology affecting who you want to be? How are the ideologies and communication strategies of brands playing into given anxieties, tensions and personalities?
