The book behind the show

Homo Artis
A Manifesto for Creation in the Age of AI

As machines take over more of what we used to call thinking, creativity stops being optional. It becomes the thing that defines us. The book is where the conversation started. The podcast is the conversation itself.

Marco Palou is an Argentine artist, author, and entrepreneur whose practice moves across visual art, music, film, and writing. His work explores how creativity shapes human identity in moments of technological change, building symbolic worlds where myth, ritual, and technology intersect.

As musician Baby Yors, he has performed around the world, blending Latin rhythms with pop. A featured speaker at marquee events like SXSW, he is the founder of the Art Anyway Foundation and host of the Don't Freak Out Podcast. Across mediums, he creates experiences that work as social catalysts: moments where strangers reconsider their roles and imagine new ways of living together.
