I couldn't attend this year's Teal Around the World 2023 live event on March 2-3. Fortunately for me and other individuals interested in hearing from the storytellers actively engaged in Teal worldmaking, the entire event is recorded and is easily accessible on the organization's website and YouTube channel, of which I am now a subscriber. As a digital Teal Land backpacker, I wanted to focus my energies on uncovering real-world guidance on navigating to Teal. I also wanted to learn from an organization making a tremendous impact while being Teal. I was fortunate to succeed in both endeavors through Jos de Blok of Buurtzog and Lisa Gill (Politeness to Partnerships).

In the age of A.I., the concept of artistic ideation, craft discipline, and output value is undergoing a seismic shift. As generative visual A.I. tools become more sophisticated, they are increasingly capable of creating original, fully composed works of art to match any visual genre or referenced artistic style. This has sparked a lively debate in the creative world about the value of human artistry and craftwork. Can a machine-generated piece of art carry the same emotional weight and cultural significance as a work created by a human hand?
