Résumé
This article presents a fresh perspective on logistics by exploring its artistic dimensions and revealing an often-overlooked aesthetic facet. It examines supply chains as a choreography of flows, where each movement of goods contributes to a larger symphony. This artistic lens invites us to perceive logistics not merely as a collection of functional processes but as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. The author underscores the significance of a visual approach to understanding flows, where every journey narrates a story of connection and exchange. Land, sea, and air routes become lines on a vast canvas, symbolizing the intricate web of human relationships across the globe. Similarly, sprawling warehouses, typically viewed as purely utilitarian spaces, are reimagined as modern cathedrals, dedicated to the logistical pursuit of efficiency. This article advocates for recognizing logistics as an art form, highlighting its profound role in shaping our daily lives. By celebrating its aesthetic dimension, it calls for a more critical and responsible engagement with consumer practices, while also addressing pressing contemporary challenges, such as the environmental and social consequences of overconsumption.
