diary.
the idea
diary keeps the thinking behind your work: your notes, the statements you draft from your own body of work, and the research for a show, all in the language of your practice. most of it already exists somewhere, in a field diary, on the back of a print, in a phone note written late at night, and diary gives it one place to settle. ari is there when you'd like a second pair of eyes on the work.

the idea path.
from the founder's own practice · real readings by ari · ai
six frames from the port of oakland, kept together as one series in diary.
what it keeps
the decisions behind each series: why an edit, why a sequence, and the things you noticed that never made the final image but shape the work. a photo of a handwritten page sits beside the entry it belongs to, so nobody has to choose between the notebook and the screen.
what it follows
your statement drafts and how each series grows over time, from a single image to a body of work. you can look back and see where the work has been, and where it seems to be heading.
what you get
statements ready for a show, written from what you've already said about the work, and a history of your practice in your own words, kept for as long as you keep making it.
keep the why behind the work.
one of four tools in studio369.ai, for the people who make the work and the people who keep it.
