Dear reader,
For over 1000 days now, we’ve posted at least one new piece of work every single day. It’s become a rhythm — one we’ve grown into.
This time, we’re sharing others who work in similar loops. Not necessarily daily. But consistently. With presence, tension, and time.
Love,
Nastassja & Christian
SERIES
WHO ELSE IS DOING IT?
Making something every day sounds simple. Until you do it.
And keep doing it.
And do it again the next day.
What starts as a creative impulse becomes a kind of structure. Some days it carries you. Other days, you carry it.
We started wondering who else works like this — not necessarily posting every day, but thinking in cycles, routines, or long-form commitment. Here's a short list of artists we’ve looked at along the way.
→ On Kawara
The Today Series
From 1966 onwards, he painted the date of the day on canvas.
No image. No story. Just presence.
Sometimes with an envelope, sometimes not. Always with time.
→ Tehching Hsieh
One year. One punch clock.
Every hour on the hour, 24/7.
He documented it all with photographs — one of the most rigorous durational works we know.
→ Beeple
Digital art every day since 2007.
Loud, fast, graphic.
Very different from us — but deeply committed to the rhythm. That part we get.
→ Molly Soda
An endless feed of emotion, performance, browser windows.
Her practice isn’t structured around days, but it’s persistent, lived, and ongoing.
A kind of visual diary in motion.
→ Eva Papamargariti
Her works unfold over time — abstract, animated, ambient.
She works in series, in movements. There’s no daily label on it, but it feels like a flow.
→ David Horvitz
Art as concept, as gesture.
He sends clouds across time zones. He manipulates Google Images.
Not a daily poster — but someone who works in small repetitions that ripple outward.
→ Harold Cohen / AARON
Back in the 1970s, Harold Cohen created an autonomous drawing system — long before AI became a buzzword.
AARON just kept drawing. Quietly. Continuously.
One of the first systems to embody the idea of ‘art as ongoing output.’
There are many more. And none of them follow the same pattern.
But something connects them all: a sense of rhythm. A kind of internal tempo.
And maybe that’s what it means to make art every day.
It’s not about quantity. Or visibility.
It’s about showing up — again.
SELECTED
On Kawara marked time like others mark ideas. With quiet precision, he painted the date—nothing else. No image, no explanation. What inspires us is the clarity of it. The commitment. The refusal to decorate or distract. Each work is a statement of presence: I was here. This day existed. That’s enough. His art doesn’t shout. But it stays with you. Minimal in gesture, endless in weight.
*In SELECTED, we feature artists and works that inspire and shape our perspective.
