The Artidex is an archive of artists and creative individuals comprised of signed Polaroid portraits, conversations, and short form films. Inspired first by the idea of collecting artists like rare Pokémon cards, each entry attempts to preserve not just the work itself, but the humanity behind the artist, bearing witness to the people that exist underneath persona and performance.What first began as a photography project has since taken on a life of its own. The Artidex has evolved into an expanding creative network built around discovery, amplification, collaboration, and mutual support. As the archive grows, it has begun naturally forging connections between artists across disciplines.Over time, The Artidex has also become a channel through which featured artists receive direct support through creative grants, sponsorships, and community driven initiatives intended to help sustain artistic work over time.Episode 0 serves as a candid introduction to Artidex creator Gina Frey and cohost Noah Boujikian, who also happens to be Entry #004. In this episode, we cover some of the early philosophies that inspired Artidex, the origins of the project, and what’s to come as new entries are added.
