The creator (Kanada) has gathered a variety of images co-created with AI. Most of the works were generated using the Idea-Steering AI Art Practice (ISAP), a method that employs only a few short words and makes distinctive use of negative prompts. It brings out the AI’s “artistic talent” by using negative prompts in a distinctive way. ISAP explores how the style and tendency of an image change through negative prompts, and sometimes even uses the same word as both a positive and a negative prompt. ISAP does not aim to imitate existing artists. Instead, it seeks to transform the associations and fluctuations that arise during the image-generation process into a unique form of expression, elevating them into original artworks.
Posters of the artworks are available for purchase on Rakuten. Between November 2024 and November 2025, works by Kanabstracd were submitted to more than ten juried art exhibitions, winning awards at five of them and being selected at most of the others (see the blog for details). A total of 324 works—centered on award-winning and selected pieces—were published in print on Amazon (Volume 1, Volume 2). Low-resolution PDF editions are available on the Internet Archive (Volume 1, Volume 2), and the works are also published as Amazon e-books. The ISAP method and its role in each artwork included in the books mentioned above are explained by GPT-5.1 in the commentary volumes: Volume 1 (print edition, PDF edition) and Volume 2 (print edition, PDF edition).
Information about the sale of these images on this site and on Rakuten is summarized in press releases issued on PR TIMES in September 2023 and October 2024 (both in Japanese). The earlier release was also featured in a well-written summary on Forbes Japan under the title: “Exploring New Forms of Art through Generative AI: Dasyn Publishes 30,000 AI Works.” (in Japanese)
