The Daily Program forms a visual timeline charting the evolution of AI art. Each day, curated emerging and established artists create new works, capturing a transformative period in art history in real time. Our vision is to spotlight and celebrate defining moments within an artist’s journey, framed within the broader narrative of the development of an entirely new art form.
Networked - Elevating the Concept of 'Daily'
Video Daily artists contribute to a shared collection and smart contract, inspiring collaboration and community among creators. For collectors, each artwork uniquely represents both an individual artist’s path and the collective evolution of AI art, reflecting the interconnected growth of the medium.
Daily - Championing Continuous Creativity
We promote ongoing engagement and creativity by encouraging artists to openly share their processes and inspirations. This transparency fosters deeper connections between artists, their communities, and collectors, emphasizing the dynamic, living nature of contemporary art practice.
Attention - Writing New Art History
By highlighting emergent AI art practices, introducing innovative approaches to exhibiting art, and cultivating enduring partnerships with artists, we actively contribute to shaping a new chapter in art history.

Uncanny Valley of the Dolls 4: No Defense
2023
Details
Artwork ID
The Uncanny Valley of the Dolls series is both inspired by and an ongoing chapter of the Dialectics collection. In this collection, I create mostly non-linear narratives that use the metaphor of disasters or conflicts to express emotional response to difficulty or trauma. While the Dialectics videos contain multiple scenes, Uncanny Valley of the Dolls videos are usually a single, poignant scene.
I use dolls to convey innocence and vulnerability, avoiding the misunderstandings that realistic images of children might cause. Realistic images of children may also trigger the Uncanny Valley phenomenon, leading to viewer disengagement. By using more abstract characters, viewers can often more easily project themselves onto the dolls, creating a deeper emotional connection.
As with most of my videos, there is an underlying threat, though its nature often remains ambiguous. The dolls are in difficult situations, and viewers witness their experiences and reactions. This series plays on the title of a well-known novel and film, emphasizing the eerie and unsettling atmosphere.
