Kyle Wallack’s art is phenomenal, but the way this “refined graffiti artist” has embraced AI?
That’s an inspiration for artists everywhere.
This AI with Alec interview is for you if you’re into…
Street Art.
AI enabling artists to spend more time creating art vs everything else.
Intersection of culture, fashion, sports, creativity etc.
Humans + Machines not Humans vs. Machines.
6 of my favorite parts of our conversation?
1️⃣Intersection of high fashion + sports:
“Michael Jordan shooting a @LouisVuitton basketball.”
2️⃣AI enables Kyle to overcome dyslexia:
“I always felt like I can’t portray what I’m thinking in my mind because it’s just hard for me to put it together in a way that makes sense.”
3️⃣Kyle isn’t running away, he’s running towards AI:
“I look at AI as just another tool we’ve created to help us.”
4️⃣Clearly @coinbase recognizes talent:
Kyle collaborated with Coinbase on “a robot on the back of a jacket for the @NBA All-Star game, and Franco Finn wore that.”
5️⃣AI is good for artists:
“I can speak on 10 different reasons why AI is good for artists…It’s going to make you push yourself, if you use it the right way…I’m trying to become better versed in art, just out of respect for people who did it before me and out of the need to continuously get better.”
6️⃣Kyle’s response to fears about AI creating art was absolutely lights out:
“The biggest fear that I've heard is, my friend who's in medicine said this to me. He's like, ‘What are you going to do? They physically have AI painting oil paintings?’ And I was just like, yeah, but that's not my painting…there's still that human factor that comes with making physical art.”
