The domain name Gaga.art was reported as sold by the .art Registry at the end of July.
At the time, the Registry’s account on X insinuated that Lady Gaga might have been behind the acquisition, that took a premium domain held by the Registry via Namecheap.
We now know that Lady Gaga had nothing to do with the domain Gaga.art as it was acquired by the operators of Sand.ai, a start-up that uses generative AI to animate static images. The company operates a separate venture called “Gaga.”
The use of Gaga.art will serve as an automated creation tool for animated characters with voice, expressions, and scenes, according to the official X account.
Of course, uploading your own personal photos to animate arrives with a lot of risk. Gaga.ai appears to be of Chinese interests, as this section notes:
Cao Yue, the CEO of Sand.ai，as the ex-head of the Vision Model Research Center at Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, focuses on fundamental vision models and multimodal large models research. Over the past five years, he has extensively explored vision large models, proposing works like Swin Transformer and Video Swin in network architecture design, and SimMIM and EVA in pre-training methods. His work has received widespread attention in the field, with seven papers listed in PaperDigest’s most influential papers, accumulating more than 50,000 Google Scholar citations. He has broken the monopoly of North American tech giants like Google and OpenAI in vision large models, achieving breakthrough progress in key visual perception tasks (such as ImageNet classification, COCO detection, ADE20K segmentation). His work has been widely applied in products like Microsoft Office 365, Azure Cognitive Service, TikTok, and Kuaishou.
Meanwhile, Gaga.ai is available for $43,911 at a minimum via Spaceship’s SellerHub.
