Ochre & CircuitWhy Us
We built Ochre & Circuit because too much writing on art and artificial intelligence reads like either marketing copy or alarmist noise. Every piece we publish is checked against named sources before it reaches a reader, and we correct what we get wrong in the open.
Named Writers, Not Ghostwriters
Every byline belongs to a real person you can look up, not a generic staff account.
No Sponsored Verdicts
We do not accept payment from galleries, studios or software makers in exchange for coverage.
Manchester Newsroom
Our editors work from a single office on Oldham Street, not a scattered freelance pool with no shared standard.
Open Correction Record
Every amendment is logged and dated at the foot of the article it concerns.
Reader-Suggested Topics
A meaningful share of our features begin as a question a reader sent to the editors.
Independent Funding
We earn through reader subscriptions and direct partnerships, never through undisclosed advertising dressed as editorial.
