Mila Koi — And Damion Dayski
Across all three projects, Koi and Dayski described as a productive driver. Koi’s emphasis on material responsiveness (e.g., servomotor‑driven petals) often conflicted with Dayski’s preference for algorithmic fluidity (e.g., generative synthesis reacting to sensor data). Rather than resolving the tension, they “let it linger” , allowing each medium to inform the other iteratively. This resulted in:
The duo has addressed this rarely, with Dayski once tweeting: "Critics confuse authenticity with lack of effort. We work hard to make chaos look accidental." Koi added in a later interview, "If it feels manufactured but still makes you feel something, it’s still art." mila koi and damion dayski
In the ever-evolving intersection of digital art and physical fashion, a new power couple has emerged from the underground scene: and Damion Dayski . Across all three projects, Koi and Dayski described

This paper investigates the collaborative practice of visual artist and digital composer‑producer Damion Dayski (hereafter “Koi & Dayski”). Since 2021 the duo has produced a series of immersive, site‑specific installations that integrate kinetic sculpture, augmented‑reality (AR) visualizations, and algorithmic soundscapes. Using a qualitative case‑study approach—comprising semi‑structured interviews, participant observation, and multimodal content analysis—we examine how their interdisciplinary negotiation of media, authorship, and technology produces novel aesthetic experiences. Findings reveal three central dynamics: (1) media hybridity as a generative tension, (2) distributed authorship mediated by code and physical fabrication, and (3) audience co‑creation facilitated through interactive AR interfaces. The study contributes to scholarship on collaborative new‑media art by foregrounding the material–conceptual negotiations that shape co‑authored works, and suggests methodological pathways for future research on interdisciplinary artistic teams.
