This week’s news explores the potential impact of newly elected U.S. President and his new administration on AI and industry, the latest virtual AI powered immersive shopping experiences from Amazon, Benefit Cosmetics, and Walmart, the opening of the first hybrid traditional and digital museum, a new AI tool for Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and ChatGPT’s key upgrades, including an improved search feature.

💌 Happy Halloween and Happy Diwali! Issue 36 is out! We’re back with another week of news and trends across luxury, fashion, culture and technology. While luxury market projections remain unsettling, and Google was fined an astonishing $20 decillion—a sum larger than all the money actually in existence on Earth, everyone and everything is being AI squished on social media and luxury fatigue has taken over. This week we discuss, the secondhand and rental markets which are reportedly booming, Meta has had enough of using other search engines and is working on its own, Kering is adopting science-based targets for nature, LinkedIn is introducing a new AI agent to take on the role of recruiters and more.

Look back at curator Micol Ap, from Fellowship.AI sharing insights on finding a balanced stage time for both new and emerging artists, creating a richer digital art community for all. Back in 2021, right after the landmark Beeples sale, digital art saw an incredible influx of new creators eager to break into the NFT world. Recognising this need, Micol founded a 12-week online residency program to guide artists through the process—completely free and covering minting fees to ease the financial strain. The program has brought in curators and blockchain experts to offer invaluable knowledge to artists, some of whom have gone on to exhibit in top galleries and even museums.
