How to Contact AICAN or Collaborate With the Project

Updated

The only contact method shown on aican.io is the Contact Us form at the bottom of the page. Fill in your name, email, and message, then submit — the site states it will respond as soon as possible. There is no published email address, phone number, or booking link, so the form is the single documented route for collaboration, exhibition, and media inquiries.

What the site actually offers

AICAN describes itself as "an Artificial Intelligence Artist and a Collaborative Creative Partner." Its navigation includes Art, Virtual Gallery, Collaborations, Exhibitions, and Media, plus a Gallery section with collections labeled "AICAN® first collection 2017" and "AICAN® January 2018 Collection."

That structure tells you where your request likely belongs:

Your goal Where it fits on the site
Propose a joint project or partnership Collaborations
Ask about showing work in a space or event Exhibitions
Press, interview, or image requests Media
Anything else Contact Us form

Note that the headings above are navigation labels. The page evidence does not show separate submission forms or contact details inside the Collaborations, Exhibitions, or Media sections, so treat them as context for your message rather than as independent intake channels.

Steps to send an inquiry

  1. Go to aican.io and scroll to the Contact Us section near the bottom.
  2. Enter your Name.
  3. Enter your Email — this is the only channel the site indicates it will use to reply.
  4. Write your Message. State your purpose in the first sentence (collaboration, exhibition, media, or other) and include the specifics the recipient needs to judge fit: who you are, what you are proposing, relevant dates, and any links.
  5. Select Submit.
  6. Expect a reply "as soon as possible." No response window is published, so if timing matters, say so in the message itself.

What to put in the message

Because the form is generic, your message has to carry all the context. A useful structure:

  • One-line purpose — e.g., "Proposal to exhibit AICAN works in [venue] in [month]."
  • Who you are — organization, role, or independent project.
  • What you want from AICAN — new work, existing collection pieces, a talk, a licensed image, a joint experiment.
  • Logistics — dates, location, format, and who covers costs if relevant.
  • Links — portfolio, venue site, or past event pages.

Keep it short enough to read in one pass; the form gives no indication of length limits, but a clear, specific message is easier to route than a general introduction.

Practical points before you write

  • The form is the documented channel. The page shows no alternative contact method, so do not assume one exists.
  • Check the gallery first. If your proposal references specific works, the Virtual Gallery and the 2017 and January 2018 collections are the visible bodies of work to cite.
  • Media requests have public precedent. The site quotes coverage from the Boston Globe, IFLScience, Hyperallergic, New Scientist, and Artsy, which suggests press inquiries are a familiar category — but it still routes them through the same form.
  • No pricing or licensing terms are published. If your collaboration involves commercial use, fees, or rights, raise that explicitly in your message rather than assuming terms.
  • Cookies. The site uses a cookie consent notice; accepting or dismissing it does not affect the form.

Common snags

  • No confirmation of receipt. The page does not describe an auto-reply, so keep your own copy of what you sent.
  • No stated turnaround. "As soon as possible" is the only commitment given.
  • Generic form, specific need. If you are unsure whether your idea is a collaboration or an exhibition, label it as both in the subject line of your message — the site does not publish routing rules.
  • Trademark and patent context. The page notes "AICAN ®" and "U.S. Pat. No. 10,853,986," so if your proposal involves reproducing the name or works, mention how you intend to credit them.
