Abstract

L’innovazione è centrale per l’avanzamento degli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile e delle Agende europee, ma i modelli attuali faticano a confrontarsi con la complessità sistemica, i compromessi e le transizioni di lungo periodo. Il presente contributo illustra il progetto MUSAE e il suo Factory Model a codice aperto, un quadro operativo guidato dall’arte e orientato al futuro, coerente con il paradigma dell’Industria 5.0. Al suo centro si colloca il metodo Design Futures Art-driven (DFA), che integra analisi delle tendenze, visione, ideazione e prototipazione, combinando sperimentazione artistica, design, sviluppo tecnologico e co-creazione con l’intelligenza artificiale. Testato in residenze caratterizzate dalla presenza di arte e tecnologia nel contesto del ‘cibo come medicina’, MUSAE dimostra come visioni condivise del futuro possano generare prototipi fino al TRL5 e favorire sinergie sistemiche. Il modello interpreta l’SDG 9 come abilitatore di un’innovazione integrata, centrata sull’uomo e sul pianeta, in condizioni di incertezza.
