In this episode, we journey into The Age of Beauty, a creative and philosophical manifesto by artist Avery Lake that responds to one of the most urgent questions of our time: What makes art human when machines can create it too?

From Magritte’s infamous pipe to a mirrored manifesto on meaning, this episode explores how Avery Lake’s online gallery reclaims intention, presence, and beauty in the Intelligence Age. We discuss works like Mirror Making of Sixteen Pipes and Mirror Making of a Manifesto, uncovering why Lake believes that even in collaboration with algorithms, meaning must remain human. Beauty still matters. Creation is a choice.

With limited edition art, digital authenticity, and a fierce devotion to purpose, Avery Lake invites us into a world where choosing to create is an act of resistance. Being intentionally alive is the true art form.
