GM!

My first post in a long time, I still have some trouble adapting to Twitter (or X?) from my regular posting on Instagram.

But I've been experimenting a bit with ComfiUI and AI-generated audio, so here is a little sneak peek of what I've been working on!

✨Forest 1 - Electrifying✨

Where We Started / Where We Are Now

It feels like just yesterday we were sketching out the Daily Program on texts in Discord and late-night calls. Back then, we had this bold idea: to document the growth of AI art every single day, capturing the excitement, the uncertainty, and the constant evolution of the tools we were all so curious about.

During Season 1 that idea quickly found its rhythm: artists posted work the moment it appeared, compared prompts, chased glitches, and debated what counted as “finished.” By October 2024 (one year later) the archive held more than 3,500 pieces from 137 voices, a living record of a medium discovering its shape.

In 2025, we launched a second edition of the program building on that foundation.

Each month we highlight selected still images, GIFs, and videos from the artists who shaped Season 1, offering focused support: curation, mentorship, and promotion, throughout 2025. As AI tools keep evolving, these artists continue to explore new ideas and push their practices forward.

So, the Daily Program remains a space for sharing progress, creative shifts, and ongoing conversations with peers and collectors.🫶

Looking back, we feel both nostalgic and grateful. The Daily Program served as a live experiment and a living archive, capturing the early days of AI-driven art at its most raw and unfiltered. We’re eager to see how a new generation of artists and innovators will respond to the work we’ve spotlighted and carry those sparks forward.

↓Below are some of the artists names who’ve been with us since the beginning:

Synthesize Me, by @MiloPoelman
(Part of the Daily Program, Year 1, 2023)

Synthesize Me is a research-based project about the autonomous synthetic systems that roam between non-physical digital spaces and their hardware. With this project, these new technologies try to question the relationship between us, our technologies, and their potential to be seen as new forms of life. How do we relate to these new technologies and how can we form non-exploitative relationships between ourselves and them?

The main body of work arose from the question I asked Text-Davinci-003 (A conversational AI made by @OpenAI ): “What do you miss in life?” followed by the answer: “The ability to experience physical sensations.” Following this the AI prompted me to explore my own physicality and film this, these videos were re-interpreted by StableWarpfusion (a video-to-video AI) from which the prompts were designed by Text-Davinci-003. In the installation, all the technological compartments are stripped bare to show the underlying structures the technologies have, and to draw parallels to their natural counterparts.

A pivotal role in the project has been my communication with AI, fostering a close collaboration that has led to what I argue as the co-creation of Synthesize Me between technology and me. Throughout this endeavor, the majority of conceptual and design decisions have emerged from dialogues with various AI entities, ensuring an equitable partnership.

The genesis of the entire project stems from exchanges between myself and the AI known as Text-Davinci-003. We both exerted equal influence over conceptualization and design choices, a dynamic formalized through a collaborative contract we mutually agreed upon and signed. It's crucial to acknowledge that this project is a result of collaboration between the AI systems I engaged with and myself.

With the increasing accessibility of advanced AI image generators and large language models (such as ChatGPT), our world is changing rapidly and we are only at the beginning to understand its long-term effects. It is therefore crucial to engage in discussions about the implications of this. With this project, we want to initiate a dialogue on these topics and invite participants to think about and explore the implications, as well as the meaning of these transformative technologies.

Where We Started / Where We Are Now

It feels like just yesterday we were sketching out the Daily Program on texts in Discord and late-night calls. Back then, we had this bold idea: to document the growth of AI art every single day, capturing the excitement, the uncertainty, and the constant evolution of the tools we were all so curious about.

It started off with a simple premise—share the creative process as it unfolded, in real time, through the perspective of diverse artists experimenting with these new tools. We believed in the power of consistent, daily exposure to innovation, hoping it would spark conversations, collaborations, and above all, the possibility of new creative pathways.

and kinda, we did it. 🤞

Looking back, it’s funny how we thought we’d have all the time in the world—but the Daily Program flew by. From impromptu community hangouts where we’d geek out over fresh prompts, to late-night submission reviews, it was a whirlwind of ideas. We witnessed artists from different backgrounds lean into new AI tools with fearless abandon, forging vibrant works that, to this day, feel like artifacts of a rare moment in time.

When the Daily Program officially ended in October 2024, it felt bittersweet.

We had gathered thousands of pieces and a tapestry of friendships. Yet, in that ending, we also saw the seeds of something new. We realized our journey was only just beginning. Today, in the second phase—our Daily Highlights Program—we want to revisit those pivotal moments, curating them with fresh eyes, and elevating the pieces that opened our minds and hearts.

Now, as we reflect on where we’ve been, we can’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and gratitude. The Daily Program served as both a live experiment and a living archive, capturing the early days of AI-driven art at its most raw and unfiltered. We’re eager to see how a new generation of artists and innovators will respond to the work we’ve spotlighted and carry those sparks forward. Here’s to the next chapter—rooted in the spirit of what we built together, and fired by the promise of what’s yet to come. 🥂

2024 YEARLY RECAP

As we close the chapter on 2024, it’s time to reflect on an incredible year of sharing the stories of artists we deeply admire. At Fellowship, we’ve been fortunate to work with over 150 artists on more than 50 projects, navigating one of the toughest markets for art. This year has been nothing short of transformative—filled with creativity, learning, and passion. Every moment was worth it, as we amplified the voices of artists who continue to push the boundaries of their craft through art and technology.

✨Here’s a look back at the year, highlighting some of the standout projects, artists, and collaborations that made this year unforgettable ↓

SHARING STORIES

At @fellowshiptrust we've been sharing the stories of artists we admire and of the work they do. This year, we were lucky and honored to shared the stories of more than 150 artists through 50+ projects in the toughest of markets. It has been an honor working with each one of you. I learned a bunch, and slept less than I have in my entire life. It was all worth it.

A bigger list than yesterday's! Sorry for leaving out some tags. X caps how many can be added. Artist, congratulations to all your efforts and sacrifices to keep doing art, even when it felt no one was looking. You guys are heroes in my mind.

2024-2025

At @fellowshiptrust, we’re asking ourselves how to build a 2025 program that not only continues but evolves the ideas of the artists we worked with in 2024. What new questions and concepts about art can we explore? Which projects are missing from our curatorial timeline that would help solidify all that we released this year? These are some of the questions on our minds.

In 2024, we released 43 projects and collaborated with more than 150 artists (intense!!!) from around the world. Moving into 2025, we want to continue fostering a curatorial space where artists feel heard, mentored, and supported. Thank you to all the artists, and thank you to the collectors for standing with us during one of the hardest years for NFTs. We delivered to the community the best ideas and art we believed needed to be seen and supported, and we will continue to do the same in the coming year.

A Man (Corpus: The Humans), Evolved Hallucinations by @trevorpaglen

[FellowshipAI @FellowshipAi]

Perfect is Not Perfect

Perfection comes from the conscious deleting of imperfection… Imperfection is the natural state of everything we make. It is where we see the hand of the artist, whatever makes them achieve what they can and what they can’t… If there’s a soul, it is visible through the cracks of imperfection.

This struggle with perfection and imperfection that we see in AI art has been an interesting thing to witness. The idea of the uncanny valley, photorealism in AI, mathematically correct art—something is naturally uncomfortable for us in there.

An interesting space to explore, but naturally problematic for art… As with other aspects of contemporary art-making, I fear that we are creating art collectively instead of individually, which is not precisely a bad thing, but it is a thing to consider…

Seems to me that we are all exploring the same thing with AI art, which is the intersection between our perception of reality and digital life and technology. And what I wonder is, where’s the hand of the artist noticeable in AI art? The ideas are clearly there, but what we see is their calculations mostly.

In any case, these things are not something to shy away from, but it’s important to notice them and think about them, as they are important characteristics of the state of the art. As such, in some years from now, these characteristics will contain important anthropological value.

ONE YEAR OF THE DAILY PROGRAM
⎯ Artist recap: @MiloPoelman

Over the past year, Fellowship has expanded its curatorial work with the Daily Program, significantly impacting AI art in the NFT space. As AI and NFTs continue to evolve, this program showcases artists pushing the boundaries of AI-generated art. With 137 artists contributing 3,142 videos, the Daily Program has become a crucial platform for highlighting both emerging and established artists.

Among the artists who joined, Milo Poelman has brought a fresh perspective to the program. With a photography degree from HKU in the Netherlands, Milo approaches AI as more than just a tool—it’s like a partner in his creative process. He’s created 62 unique pieces for the program, diving into different themes across series like Synthesize Me, Latent Image, and Artifacts.

Each piece shows Milo’s curiosity about what makes us human and how machines might interpret that. His art feels like a conversation between him and the AI, exploring big questions without needing complex answers. Simple, curious, and thoughtful, Milo’s work makes you wonder about the connections between humans and machines.

��� Here are some of his standout pieces:

NEW ARTISTS + NEW WORK

I've lost count of how many new artists we've invited to work with us by now, but many have grown up and developed their ideas thanks to the care and support we offer them. The @fellowshiptrust Daily Program is unique in that sense. It isn't a place to just come "drop" work, it a place to grow, challenge and develop together.

Many of the artists we work with are first time participants in the NFT space like @Ktheorphan @EmiTrevisani @niceaunties @loved_orleer @MowglyLee @katiemorrisart @GeoffreyLillem1 @nouseskou @panaviscope @Ethereal_Gwirl @ellktro @MiloPoelman @SimmonsLaurie @juliewdesign_ @davegrohl420 @carlosbannon @originverse @benmillarcole @_Alv_Alv_Alv_ @alsoguppyme_ @bbeetthh @FionaMompean @FloamWorld @kentskooking @solarwinddd @elmanmansimov @charlieengman and more. Working with them was also guiding them into crypto and web3 culture.

For us, this is our value add to this beautiful web3 ecosystem. With our curatorial experience and willingness to take risks on new names to the space, we have shown via the Daily program that we are here for the culture and for art. To push what else can be seen and collected by taking an active role in curating artists even if they are from "outside." It is hard to elevate artists, even more-so when they are "new" names.

Our commitment is to use our experiences as artist, gallerist and collector to show the many levels and voices in AI art, photography and other mediums we feel connected to. Today we have a few new voices we are adding to program and we think that their work continues to expand AI's capacity to be used as an art making tool. Curating AI today needs a vision, not just things that "fall on your lap." We need to make decisions of where we think things where, are and are going. The pushback for this medium is gigantic and we need to have a plan and be able to show it clearly here and outside of web3. Otherwise it all looks like a big mess.

Here the artists and also some new work by artists that are already part of the program. Enjoy.
