Visual artist Aykan Umut, originally trained as a craft animation artist and grew into an established digital production and artwork creator, developed as a modern creative with a strong vision in image making through the years. The past decade lent his creative touch to numerous street culture and music-infused brands and collaborators e.g. Alicia Keys, Moncler Genius, and Swizz. Beatz

The recent technological innovations - with artificial intelligence and the concept of tokenizing in particular - opened up new possibilities for the artist and challenged him to level up his autonomous artistic practice. These new tech-based tools let him create new forms and visual concepts that have already been playing in the artist's head for a long time. Not only did music and street culture influence his early, often commissioned-based, works. These influences play an even more important role in his current autonomous work.

As a “prompt” curator of his own mind, the artist uses Ai-tools as an executive assistant for his current ongoing series. Images, too complex to stage in the physical world, now finally are able to be brought to life using this new range of generative open-source tools. Just like in the real world, the process is all about trial, testing, creating, re-creating, and finetuning the artistic concept which translates into well-crafted aesthetically pleasing pieces.
