Abstract
Aesthetics in design are known to be empowering in terms of various perspectives in one’s life. This paper aims to discuss innovative approaches, methodologies, and technologies that can further enhance the role of aesthetics in empowering individuals in the digital age. By delving into the relationship between aesthetics and empowerment, we seek to foster discussions and collaborations among researchers, practitioners, designers, artists, and industry professionals. It is worth building up a platform for sharing insights, exchanging ideas, and exploring new and emerging trends in this exciting area.
