What is it?

The Uber Diary is a conceptual art project that arose from my profound realization of the modern world's increasing disconnection and isolation due to technology. In response to humanity's innate yearning to connect and share stories, I was inspired to utilize the Uber platform to invite passengers to share their intimate thoughts and struggles, offering us an intimate glimpse into their lives.

Started in the fall of 2019, right before the pandemic hit, this project captures a unique moment in time, right before our lives changed due to the global pandemic. The project captures passengers’ everyday thoughts, feelings, struggles, and stories. The entries that were shared by the passengers transcend gender, race, religion and identity. They reveal the true essence of each soul that participated in the Uber Diary journey. While reading and reflecting on other passengers' entries, new passengers felt inspired to write their own stories.

The Uber Diary is a collection of diary entries written by passengers that I met while driving Uber. Inspired by each page of the diary, I then created GAN generative NFTs in my own artistic style. This became an art book intended to create mental health awareness and to provide a glimpse in time to our pre-pandemic lives. It is also a reminder that we all share the same struggles, that we are more similar than we think.

The project takes a multi-faceted approach by combining hand-written diary entries with AI generative art NFTs. These NFTs mirror the stories shared by the passengers, creating a unique digital representation of their experiences.

The Uber Diary project will culminate in an art exhibition and book tour that embraces inclusivity and embraces the innovative spirit of Web3.

With your support, we can bring the Uber Diary project to the world.

How does it benefit the Moonbirds and Mythics holder community?

Uber Diary fosters human connection, empathy, and storytelling, benefiting the community through technology and art. Second edition also prioritizes the Proof Ecosystem.

About the team

Galavis, a Venezuelan-American artist in Los Angeles, draws inspiration from his Caracas upbringing with an architect father and physicist mother. He blends modernism, fauvism, surrealism, and cubism, using diverse mediums and unique canvas shapes. Galavis' art champions human consciousness, equality, and inclusivity, delving into socio-political themes.

Empowering women is central to Galavis' message, portraying them as creators and challenging historical male-driven destruction. He's intrigued by blockchain's ethical potential, diving into digital and crypto art since 2021. Galavis' work has gained prominence through U.S. exhibitions and features in global private collections.

Art, for Galavis, is a medium to express and liberate emotions, fostering self-awareness. His art becomes a catalyst for change, offering hope and reflection amidst the chaotic pace of life.

Product strategy


Uber Diary art books sold in NFT galleries throughout the world. Book tour/Art Exhibition in various cities throughout the the world. With every book sold, a randomized NFT is claimable through an NFC chip.

Offer tangible experiences: The Uber Diary extends its impact beyond the digital realm with physical art books.

Offers Community Experiences: Uber Diary Karaoke: a unique interactive experience that is intended to bring non-web3 natives into our journey. It is a group activity designed to bring people together within the arts.

Align with the ethos of PROOF and the Web#3 world: The Uber Diary's inclusive and community-focused approach aligns with the ethos of PROOF and aims to create an inclusive Web#3 world where genuine human connections are valued and celebrated through the Arts while fostering adoption.

What are the risks?

Reliance on technology: The project relies heavily on technology, including AI generative art NFTs. Technical glitches, data loss, or other unforeseen issues may impact the creation and distribution of the artwork, potentially disappointing participants and undermining the project's goals.

Limited reach and participation: While the project aims to invite everyone to be a part of the inclusive Web#3 world, there is a risk that it may not reach a wide audience or fail to attract sufficient participation. This could hinder the project's ability to create meaningful connections and achieve its desired impact on the community.

What will the money actually be spent on? Do you expect any other money to come in related to this project, e.g. revenues?

Website, Smart Contract and Mint, Physical Books, Art Installation

Venue, Creation/Honorarium.

The goal is for the income generated from book sales/NFTs to be used to fund the expansion of the UBER Diary. This expansion includes the publication of further book editions, such as paperback versions, and organizing a world tour to continue spreading the message and promoting blockchain adoption. The aim is to showcase the power of our community and raise awareness about the Proof Community.

Once the second edition is sold out, I plan to give back the $25,000 grant to the Lunar Society so it can go back on the pool to support more projects.
