Good morning!
Today's article concerns a topic that is particularly close to our hearts. More and more italian conventions are gradually approaching the artistic sphere, adding Artist Alleys to their events - however, few seem to be able to provide a space, both physical and metaphorical, that is properly suited to the artists they host.
Let's talk about the Firenze Comics accident, from last weekend.
Good morning.
The last few years have been characterised by a series of rather historically significant events, the kind that people would never imagine to experience. Joining the list of these "once in a lifetime" situations is the recent Crowdstrike Incident, described as ‘the biggest outage in the history of information technology’. Today, we offer you a brief digression on the subject.
Enjoy.
Good morning.
A year after the start of the historic SAG-AFTRA union strike, caused by a labour dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a new protest was recently announced.

Advocates of creative Artificial Intelligence claim that it is like the transition from traditional to digital, that it is "just a new tool that allows for something new". In reality, things are not quite like that.
Have you built your follower base on social media? No matter how large it is, no matter how good your content is, it counts for nothing: your profile can be erased from existence as if nothing happened. And you, try to do something about it.
Good Morning!
We are here today with a representative from Kirke's Team. Kirke is a new social network for artists specialising in fandoms, original characters, concept art and character design.

On the occasion of the event to be held this weekend in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the rumoured 'Udine Comics & Games' convention, we present you a brief digression concerning recent events in the field. As expected, artificial intelligence is, once again, the protagonist of the whole situation.
Good Morning!
Today we present you a brief digression on yet another risk involved in the improper use of Artificial Intelligence: the further spread of false news and misinformation. Nowadays, the Internet should be a fundamental resource for keeping up to date with the facts, unfortunately, it seems that no one can ever be absolutely certain of the truthfulness of what is reported.
