ENG: Warning, I’m an android.
(autistic*, but it’s almost the same)

I wanted to do this in my native language, because there is not much information about autism here where I live. And I think it is important that autistic people who speak Spanish and are Latino have some representation.

Machine-Artist?

I’m really struggling to make an illustration, at least to put on my social media (I’m still working on a beautiful children’s book).

It’s a little bit sad, that in order to make your work seen you have to constantly work hyper hard without getting paid, because a l g o r i t h m s,and most of the people will scroll past it in 5 seconds. (it’s not people’s fault, social media is done that way on purpose)

Neurodivergent artist have the right to be seen even if they CAN’T post everyday (and even if they are not neurodiverse, it shouldn’t be this way), I had overworked myself a lot of times and had been left sick in bed, without energy, without even talk to anyone. And I’m super fortunate because I can work with my client, and I know they like the things I make -my heart is soo gratefull-.

I think there’s a really big problem here, how it’s that people have to APOLOGIZE because they didn’t posted in TWO days???. That’s not healthy for anyone. We cannot be dependent on things that evolve faster than ourselves and we don’t even fully understand, it’s just wild. I really want everyone, and every artist to be themselves and own their own pase and time. Imagine what artworks we could be creating if we just focus on this, and not work ourselves out just to post every day or every other day. More meaningfull and interesting pieces… Obviusly there’s a lot of artist that make BEAUTIFULL and outstanding art, but I think the majority of us struggle with this rhythm of being, and put a lot of pressure on things we can’t fully control, much more when there’s a dissability involved.

I just wanted to express this, we are not machines that need an algorithm to exist, we are here now, we can make a little bit of a difference even if we can’t follow what everyone says we should do.

I’m not a factory.
