If the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Industrial Revolutions was focused on only one technology, “the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), refers to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, characterized by a fusion of physical, digital, and biological systems. It involves the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and autonomous systems, leading to increased efficiency and productivity in various industries.”(ChatGPT AI). The 5th Industrial Revolution definitions are not clear yet. Some put the focus on human-Robot, Human-AI collaboration. Some call for recruiting the new technologies for the mission of sustainability and stopping the Anthropocene nature extinction. The process of the workshop will aim at the reflection on these approaches, and dwell on the future with realism and honest way. The design process aims at the projection future of one design object, made by a chosen German Brand (Adidas, BMW, Bosh, Jack Wolfskin etc.), applying the personal interpretation and view on the future of ‘Industry’.
