Resource(s), foreshadowing the future. Immersed in an era where things feel like they are shifting, an era marked by the depletion and impending exhaustion of certain resources, by the now palpable reality of climate change and growing doubts about some of our modern certainties, designers feel "unsettled", and that is leading them to question what they do and how they do it.

In a world where generative artificial intelligence is producing images, texts and videos in seconds, where does the designer's added value come in now? This selection of projects proposes to explore the new frontiers of creation in the age of generative AI, not as a threat but as an invitation to fundamentally rethink the designer's role and question the ethical and societal implications of these technologies.
