You will learn the small physical and visual tells that separate a handmade piece from one produced or finished with AI assistance. By the end, you will know which questions to ask a maker or seller before you buy.
Plain explanations and comparisons of the AI tools artists are being asked about.
Context and history for anyone wondering what art is for now that machines can make images too.
Our essays are written by a small group of named critics, working artists and one arts-and-technology editor based in Glasgow. Each byline includes a short line on who the writer is and why they're covering that topic. We don't publish anonymous or AI-generated pieces.
Humanis runs on reader support and a small amount of our own savings, not sponsored content. We don't accept paid placements dressed up as independent opinion. This keeps what we publish free to read without a client looking over our shoulder.
You can send a topic through our contact page with a line on why it matters to you. A real editor reads every pitch and replies if it's something we can realistically cover. We can't promise to run every idea, but we do read them all.
We publish on a weekly schedule, usually one long essay and a shorter note. If you subscribe to the newsletter, new pieces land in your inbox the same day they go live on the site.
Send us a question, a topic you'd like covered, or a correction, we read every message ourselves.
