LYKETYPES is an enigmatic queer artist in Los Angeles, blending masculinity, art, history, design, music, architecture, and nature. Their work captures urban-nature contrasts, echoing music's emotive depth. They question AI's artistry, blending it into their work, sparking conversations on creativity in the digital era.


LYKETYPES' exploration of AI-generated art as a medium stems from a deep understanding of art's historical context as a process of reimagining and reinterpreting existing ideas. They view art not as a static entity but as a dynamic conversation with the past, present, and future.


By utilizing AI-generated art, LYKETYPES challenges conventional notions of creativity and authorship. They believe that humans have always used the tools available to them to express their ideas, and AI represents the latest evolution in these tools. Rather than seeing AI as a replacement for human creativity, LYKETYPES sees it as a collaborator, a new brush on the artist's palette.


The question posed by LYKETYPES—Is AI Art, Art?—encourages viewers to ponder the essence of artistic expression. It invites us to consider the role of technology in shaping our creative endeavors and to reflect on the nature of innovation in the artistic process.



In this context, LYKETYPES' work becomes a bridge between tradition and innovation, a space where old ideas are rethought and redefined using cutting-edge technology. It prompts a dialogue about the evolving nature of art and invites us to embrace new possibilities while honoring the rich legacy of artistic exploration throughout history.
