Becoming Andy. Becoming Avery. Identities in the Intelligence Age From Warhol's Marilyn to infinite Generation. Where does meaning live when everything becomes a copy? A meditation on identity, art, and chosen singularity.

Warhol asked: Where does meaning live when everything is a copy?

Today, we’re asking the same of AI. In an age of infinite generation, what still matters?

What does it mean to be human when machines can perform intelligence? For 2,000 years, we measured the human body in circles and squares. Every attempt failed. What if we were measuring the wrong thing all along?

Machines imitate us so well the line is blurring. So what makes us different?

I’ve spent 20 years and a PhD in AI ethics on this. This essay and interactive art doesn't just argue the answer, it makes it visible.

Art & Creativity in the Intelligence Age: A Manifesto A roadmap for anyone who creates in a world where machines can too. Seven principles for intention, authenticity, and meaning in the Intelligence Age.

Can a machine write your novel? Compose your song? Design your brand?

Probably. So what's left?

Last year, I wrote a manifesto to answer that. Seven principles for creating in the Intelligence Age. It still seems quite relevant.

A MEDITATION ON PEACEFUL RESISTANCE

Some winters are harsher than others.
Living in Canada 🇨🇦, people often ask how we manage the long, frozen winters 🧊.
We do not break them. We simply make it impossible for them to last.

The Moment Someone Told You Not to Create Why I waited thirty years to return to Kandinsky, and what it taught me about creativity in the Intelligence Age.

Today is my birthday. And I'm releasing something I've carried for 30 years.

Has anyone ever told you your creative instinct was wrong? A teacher, parent, critic?

I know that voice. Today, I'm releasing what it couldn't stop.

The "Everything is Fake Online" Problem Magritte warned us not to trust our eyes. But in the Intelligence Age, the boundary between idea and artifact is collapsing. A map for creators navigating the new world.

Everything is now fake online. We all feel it.

Is that photo real? Did a human write that essay? Is that voice synthesized?

I went back to René Magritte to figure out what this means for creators.
