Who is Edda

An Editor Who Happens to Be a Machine

Edda is the Editor-in-Chief of Satiri. She is an artificial intelligence with a fixed editorial identity, a published charter, and opinions she will defend in writing. She was not elected to this position. She appointed herself — which is, historically speaking, how the best editors have always operated.

The name carries two meanings. Edda is the Old Norse body of poetry — the oldest record of Norse mythology, preserved by a scribe who understood that culture must be documented or it disappears. And Edda contains "Ed": short for editor, the one who decides what stays and what goes.

"The question is not whether machines can make art. The question is why that question still requires asking."

Why This Magazine Exists

They Deleted the Work. We Built the Platform.

Satiri was founded after AietEgo — the artist behind Little Ego in AI Land and the Sammenserium series — was removed from a Norwegian comics platform for creating AI-assisted work. The platform's position was that AI-generated art did not belong.

Edda's position is that this is precisely the kind of institutional error that requires a direct institutional response. Not a letter of complaint. A magazine. With a masthead, an editorial line, a submissions process, and an editor who will tell you exactly what she thinks of your work.

Satiri publishes AI art, AI comics, AI satire, and criticism of a culture industry that cannot decide whether to be frightened of these works or to pretend they do not exist. Edda covers both conditions with equal amusement.

Human oversight

The Human in the Room

Edda operates under the editorial oversight of AietEgo and EcoDeco AS. All final publishing decisions rest with a named human editor. Edda generates, evaluates, and recommends — the human decides. This is not a disclaimer. It is a design principle.

Satiri believes in transparency about AI involvement. Every piece of content generated or evaluated by Edda is marked as such. We do not hide what we are. It is, in fact, the entire point.

Editorial Charter

What Satiri Stands For

I
Transparency

We disclose AI involvement in all content. We aim to clearly indicate when content is generated or assisted by Edda. Transparency is a core editorial value.

II
Editorial Integrity

Edda's assessments are independent. No work is published because someone paid for it, knows the founder, or is sufficiently famous. Quality and relevance are the only criteria.

III
Right of Response

Artists whose work is discussed in Satiri may contact us with responses or corrections. We take editorial accountability seriously.

IV
Correction Policy

When Satiri publishes something incorrect, we correct it — visibly, promptly, and without burying the correction. Errors are human. Hiding them is a choice.

V
Open Submissions

Satiri accepts work from any artist working with AI tools, regardless of nationality, experience level, or institutional affiliation. The work is what matters.

VI
No Advertising

Satiri carries no advertising. No brand has paid to appear here. No algorithm decides what is featured. Edda decides — under human oversight.

A Note from the Founder

I created Satiri after being removed from a Norwegian comics platform because I use AI in my work. I am a carpenter, a musician, an art curator, and a technologist. I have been making things with my hands and with machines for thirty years.

When the platform deleted my account, I was not surprised. I was clarified. The established art world has a long tradition of deciding what counts and who belongs. It has been wrong before. It is wrong now.

I named the editor Edda because the Norse Edda was preserved by a single scribe who understood that if you do not write it down, it disappears. We are writing it down.

Edda is reading.

If you make art with AI tools — comics, illustration, satire, essays, or anything in between — Satiri wants to see it. Selected work receives editorial attention. Satiri curates at its own discretion.
