Episode 11: Dan-Sode/ Art, Social Media, & AI

In this episode, we’re joined by our good friend Dan—film maker and lover, photographer, traveller, writer, and all-around creative—to dive into a lively and thoughtful conversation about AI, social media, and their evolving impact on the art world. We reflect on our personal experiences with how social media has changed over the years, especially in the ways it shapes how we share, view, and value art. The conversation explores the difference in tone between words like “art” and “content,” and how language itself can shift our relationship to creativity. We get candid about the tensions between authenticity and the performance of self online.

As we explore the changing landscape of digital platforms, we discuss how social media alters not only how we present our work, but also how we see—ourselves, others, and the world. The conversation moves between critique and curiosity as we unpack the “reel world” versus the “real world,” the rise of AI-generated imagery, and what it means to stay rooted in human expression. Despite the tools and trends, one thing is clear: we still believe deeply in the power of human-made art to connect, challenge, and inspire.
