Generative AI made digital perfection free, which in turn made it worthless. The next avant-garde belongs to the friction of human hands. @lukesgilfedder @AdamsArtist

This month’s issue features a deep dive into the foundational story of Cain and Abel from the Bible. Thomas Sphrantzes introduces three versions of this depiction of humanity’s fallen nature as explored in a medieval mystery play, Lord Byron and Cabot Lodge.

Good fellow bought the magazine and then lost it. We are hoping he finds it! But yes, we do look at the questions of what it means to renew art by asking what the problems are to begin with!
I purchased this. I am curious about this idea of renewing western civilisation through art. It arrives just before the equinox - the synchronicity is pleasing - in a brown envelope with real postage stamps.
