Ai-Da creates her paintings by capturing images using the camera in her eye, which are processed by her AI algorithms to become real space coordinates, and are then translated into drawings using her robotic arm.  Like other artists, from Rembrandt and his workshops during the Dutch Golden Age, to Andy Warhol’s Factory in the sixties, and Damien Hirst and his dot paintings (Hirst painted the first 25 works in the series before handing over to his assistants to complete the remaining now over 1,400 works), Ai-Da collaborates with others to produce her paintings and sculptures.  Once Ai-Da has completed an initial design for a painting, assistants then proceed to complete the work by manually applying the paint onto the canvas.
