WHAT IS THE GRAIN?

THE GRAIN is a platform to talk about how artificial intelligence is impacting creative industries: a podcast featuring honest conversations with experts, a newsletter featuring observations from the field, and the insights required to adapt. 

“The AI scene is full of opportunists who are saying there is a better, cheaper way—leading creatives to freak out about losing their jobs.

I want those artists to stop and think, stabilize, and remind themselves of their value.”

WHO AM I?

I'm Ronit Novak, I'm an art director and photo editor. I'm a mentor, a teacher, a writer, and a public speaker.
Just like you, I’ve been increasingly curious about the conversations surrounding creativity and artificial intelligence.
I wonder about the impact it will have on my career in the creative industry.
I created THE GRAIN to be a platform for meaningful conversations with critical thinkers, and to share them with you.

WHO ARE YOU?

Creative industry professionals, schemers and dreamers, and anyone who wants to think about the evolution of our endeavours. Whether you're a consumer or producer—or on both sides of that fence—there's no better time to share than when change is in the air.

“I can't pretend to know what's going to happen in the future. But I'm keeping tabs on what's happening today.

THE GRAIN
is not about threats, or trinkets, or tech—it's about the shared experience of adapting to a new era.”
