FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Project AD-01 is a series of handcrafted android sculptures created by the artist freaky-Deek. Each sculpture is meticulously crafted by hand from polymer clay and other materials, making every piece unique. The project explores the intersection of human artistry and technology, emphasizing the importance of manual craftsmanship in an increasingly automated world.

All sculptures and visuals in Project AD-01 are created entirely by one person, freaky-Deek – from design, to hand sculpting, to mold making and casting, electric design and hand painting. This is a complete humanmade piece of artwork.

Pictures and Videos were shot practically without digital models as well.

This ensures a personal touch and high level of detail in each piece.

The sculptures come in three versions:

Dark Variant (Non‑Electric):

• Relies solely on traditional hand‑crafting techniques (sculpting, molding, casting, and painting) without any LED integration.
• Emphasizes the raw, tactile beauty of the artist’s work. 

Bright Variant (Electric with Black Glossy, Dehumanized Eyes):

• Incorporates LED lighting to energize the piece (with the specific color defined by the model, such as red, blue, green, etc.).
• Features black glossy eyes that give the sculpture a more robotic, impersonal quality—highlighting the contrast between machine-like efficiency and human creativity.

Bright Special Edition (Electric with Silver, Humanized Eyes):

• Also LED‑powered but uses silver humanized eyes to evoke warmth and a more humanized character.
• Conveys a softer narrative that celebrates the blend of technology with the unmistakable touch of human artistry.

Each model in Project AD-01 is more than just a sculptural android—it carries a deeper meaning, symbolizing different aspects of human existence, technology, and the evolving relationship between the two. Below is a breakdown of what each model represents:

1. Joule Δ – The Spark of Innovation

Symbolism: Energy, Momentum, and the Birth of Technology

Joule Δ represents the driving force of technological advancement—the raw energy that fuels human progress. Inspired by the concept of joules as a unit of energy, this model embodies the spark of invention and the relentless pursuit of new ideas. Whether in its Dark Variant, which emphasizes traditional craftsmanship, or its Bright Variants, where LED illumination brings the concept of stored and released energy to life, Joule Δ reminds us of the power of creativity to shape the future.

2. Theta Θ – The Balance Between Humanity and Machine

Symbolism: Wisdom, Reflection, and the Search for Harmony

Theta Θ is designed to reflect the delicate equilibrium between human consciousness and artificial intelligence. The Greek letter theta has long been associated with philosophy, thought, and the unknown, making this model a symbol of introspection. Its Dark Variant highlights the human element in art, while the Bright Variants, with their cool blue illumination, evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation, emphasizing the coexistence of human intuition and machine logic.

3. Flux Φ – The Ever-Changing Nature of Progress

Symbolism: Adaptability, Evolution, and the Intersection of the Organic and Synthetic

Flux Φ takes its name from the concept of constant change and transformation. This model represents the fluidity of technological and artistic evolution, embodying the idea that progress is never static. The Dark Variant captures the timeless nature of handmade craftsmanship, while the Bright Variants, featuring vivid green LED lighting, suggest the dynamic interplay between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence—between biology and circuitry.

4. Volta Γ – The Spirit of Experimentation and Discovery

Symbolism: Curiosity, Electricity, and the Drive to Push Boundaries

Named after Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the electric battery, Volta Γ symbolizes the relentless spirit of scientific discovery. This model represents the moment when curiosity leads to groundbreaking innovations. The Dark Variant serves as a tribute to traditional knowledge, while the Bright Variants, with their striking purple and blue LED effects, capture the excitement of electrical energy and the unseen forces that power our world.

5. Omega Ω – The Concept of Finality and Timelessness

Symbolism: Completion, Perfection, and the Eternal Cycle

Omega Ω, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizes endings, culmination, and the idea that all things eventually reach completion. This model serves as a reflection on both the permanence of art and the impermanence of technology. The Dark Variant represents timeless craftsmanship, while the Bright Variants, illuminated by warm white LEDs, evoke the quiet, enduring glow of knowledge and human legacy in an ever-changing digital world.

6. Aurum X – The Pinnacle of Rarity and Purpose

Symbolism: Exclusivity, Generosity, and the Intersection of Art and Social Impact

Aurum X is the only model that exists as a single, one-of-a-kind piece, making it the most exclusive in the series. With its name derived from the Latin word for gold, it represents rarity, value, and the human capacity for generosity. Created solely for charity, Aurum X was gifted to a donor in Canada in recognition of their support for Ukraine. Its Bright Special Edition variant, featuring golden LED lighting and silver humanized eyes, embodies both luxury and compassion, serving as a powerful reminder that art can transcend aesthetics and make a real-world impact.

Conclusion: The Bigger Picture

Each model in Project AD-01 represents a distinct aspect of the human-technology relationship:

• Joule Δ is about the energy of creation

• Theta Θ explores the balance between man and machine

• Flux Φ symbolizes constant change and adaptation

• Volta Γ embodies scientific curiosity and discovery

• Omega Ω reflects on finality, legacy, and timeless artistry

• Aurum X stands as a testament to the intersection of art and humanitarian impact

Together, these models form a narrative about our evolving world—one where technology continues to reshape what it means to be human, yet art remains an unshakable expression of individuality and purpose.

Each Project AD-01 android is entirely handcrafted through a multi-step process. First, the design is carefully conceptualized and the original model is sculpted by hand using polymer clay. Next, a detailed silicone mold is created so that the sculpture can be cast in durable resin. After casting, each piece is meticulously filed, sanded, hand-painted and finished. For the LED-equipped variants, custom-designed circuits and wiring are integrated and rigorously tested, ensuring a seamless blend of traditional art with modern technology. Every android undergoes a strict quality check and comes with additional perks such as a signed certificate of authenticity and necessary accessories.
