Homo Artis: A Manifesto for Creation in the Age of AI (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996708116)

HOMO ARTIS is a memoir-driven manifesto about art as the way back to feeling, body, meaning, and each other in a civilization that has trained us to disconnect. Across twenty-nine chapters, artist Marco Palou argues that as artificial intelligence takes over the work of reasoning, we rediscover what was always true: we are creators, and creation is how we stay human.

Moving from a near-fatal crisis in a New York hospital to the paper-flower festivals of his Argentine childhood, from the studio to the street, Palou writes from inside a working creative life. The book moves from the personal to the practical to the civilizational, and ends with a Speech to Humanity written to be performed aloud.

It is for anyone who used to make things and stopped. Anyone who feels the pull of the screen and the ache underneath it. Anyone who suspects that being human might be the one thing that can't be automated.

This is not a survival guide to the age of AI. It is an invitation to imagine and build the future we actually want.
