Imaginary Friend
Grant Awarded: $10,000
About
Independent artist Danielle Freakley proposed building and exhibiting an Extended Reality system using artificial intelligence to explore the psychosocial aspects of imaginary friends. These characters would be drawn from real life imaginary friends and would be brought to life through AI within a world that would have elements from real WA (real places where people interact with their imaginary friends) patchworked together in the digital world.
