Marco Palou on AI and Creativity
From Memoir Nation · 00:52:07
Show by Brooke Warner and Grant Faulkner
At Memoir Nation we’ve been watching the impact AI is having on writing and creativity with trepidation, and sometimes alarm. This week’s guest Marco Palou has a refreshing take on AI, and argues that we are not thinking beings who sometimes create, but creating beings who sometimes think. And that in this age of artificial intelligence, making things by hand is how we will stay human. Marco has some beautiful things to say about creativity, and his new book, 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.Marco Palou is an Argentine artist, author, and entrepreneur whose work moves across visual art, music, film, and writing. He explores how creativity shapes human identity in moments of technological change, building symbolic worlds where myth, ritual, and technology meet. As the musician Baby Yors, he has performed around the world, blending Latin rhythms with pop. He is the founder of the Art Anyway Foundation and the host of the Don't Freak Out Podcast, both extensions of the ideas in his work. As a speaker, he has appeared on the main stage at SXSW. His debut book is HOMO ARTIS: A Manifesto for Creation in the Age of AI.
