Stronger Together

Eight billion people, eight hundred portraits, one shared condition.

Stronger Together is a series of 800 AI-generated moving images commissioned by the United Nations Population Fund to mark the world’s population reaching 8 billion. Each portrait is intimate in scale. A glimpse of a face, a person. Drawn from across the full range of human diversity.

We trained a generative AI model on a dataset of diverse individuals sourced from the UNFPA’s digital archive. The training material was chosen deliberately: empowered, global, varied. A brief for the AI that shaped what it produced.

The works were minted as NFTs with a dynamic structure tied to their movement through the world. Each time a piece changes hands, it grows with a new AI-generated person added to the chain of moving images. The number 8 runs through the entire piece: 800 works, 8 billion people, 8 transformations per NFT.
