【ADF Web Magazine】AZ Awards “Emerging Design Firm” Winner - Common Object Studio Designing for a Regenerative FutureCommon Object Studio explores design that transcends form and function. By centering systems, materials, and intention from the outset of every project, they shift their perspective from user-centered to planet-centered, with a firm recognition that humans are part of the Earth's ecosystem. Their approach begins by asking how objects exist within ecological systems, how they evolve physically, emotionally, and socially, and how they impact their makers and their source environments. These questions push their design process from sustainability into regeneration. |

【ADF Web Magazine】Art and IA: a new exhibition in ParisFilippo Esposito’s article “Art and IA: a new exhibition in Paris” explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of creativity. Drawing parallels with past artistic revolutions—from photography to surrealism—he highlights how AI is provoking similar debates about authenticity, intention, and meaning. The exhibition Le monde selon l’IA at the Jeu de Paume (April–September 2025) showcases works that question AI’s material impact, cultural biases, hidden labor, and generative potential. Rather than predicting art’s “death,” the show urges us to reconsider what it means to create in an age where humans and machines increasingly co-shape expression. A must-read for anyone curious about art’s next frontier. |
