Thought of the night: millenials increasingly crave authenticity. Manufacturing complies, and becomes increasingly just-in-time customized.

This feels related to the recent hubbub around etsy's manufacturing efforts, as well

@starsandrobots
Something you pay someone crazier than yourself to make? -
@thrusty hahaha maybe so. Designers at large companies may be less crazy. Or craziness is hidden by their large org.

@starsandrobots Seriously. Designers working for large companies are artists too, you just don't know them by name. -
@kerobinso that opens up a whole new angle on the concept of artisanal to me. -
@kerobinso originally I was thinking of the tension between custom-made objects and mass manufactured things all alike -
@kerobinso perhaps differentiating "artistry" and "artisanality" which I'm equating to skilled labor for handmade things

@starsandrobots Dafen village. -
@obra making your case and mine, my millenial housemates have even got a portrait of the doge done by a Dafen reseller/importer. -
@starsandrobots is this a puppy, an Italian aristocrat or both? -
@obra just a simple doge. Felt markers not included.pic.twitter.com/9psT2qartr

@starsandrobots I believe in Europe there is a legal definition for "artisanal", mainly (perhaps only?) for food production. (.fr tweeps?) -
@garrett_wollman@starsandrobots The wikipedia entry for 'artisan' might be of some use. (or it might not...)
