Daily Program | Season #1

Aug 28, 2023 - Oct 21, 2024

Overview

Just as home movies once enabled people to capture and share their lived experiences, AI video now empowers artists to imagine, craft, and disseminate their visions.

- Alejandro Cartagena

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.

‘Under Your Skin’ is an AI film drawing inspiration from the ubiquitous presence of aunties, their sometimes irritating behaviours, and the familiar phrase 'getting under your skin'. The film presents a disconcerting image resembling large pores, similar to lotus pods, on a cheek. These pores quiver to twitching sounds, and upon closer examination, reveal an auntie's face snugly lodged in one of them, who casually greets the viewer with a 'hi'. Following scenes resemble illustrations from science textbooks, depicting sections of the dermis, but with a twist - several aunties are concealed within the skin layers. As the film progresses, the discomfort escalates with the appearance of equipment, ominous in its undefined purpose and hinting at violence. In a welcome shift, the narrative moves to mini aunties circulating in the bloodstream, exploring the microscopic worlds within the body.


This film delves into the themes of beauty and skin, drawing parallels with previous Niceaunties AI films such as 'Rough Skin Is Beautiful' and 'Contact Lenses'. These works collectively explore the intricate and often complex relationship between appearance and self-perception, challenging conventional beauty norms and inviting viewers to reconsider their understanding of physical aesthetics.

This AI film was created, animated, and edited by Niceaunties in the programmes Dalle3, Magnific.ai and Runwayml.
