Elegant Surplus - Not My Type #001
Viktor Bezic's Not My Type is an ongoing investigation into experimental typography through AI systems. The work exists in productive tension. The artist fights for control while simultaneously relinquishing it.
The series reinterprets Ed Ruscha for the algorithmic age. Where Ruscha documented the vernacular landscape through photography and painting, Bezic explores the vernacular of machine-generated imagery. It's an end to end generative process. Each system produces distinct results—different materials, contexts, and aesthetic interpretations.
The outcomes range across formats. Static posters. Motion graphics. Both physical artifacts and digital works that can exist on-chain. This multiplicity reflects the nature of AI-generated work itself. Endlessly reproducible. Infinitely variable. Never quite the same twice.
The series references typeface and typographic experimentation. It also signals the artist's relationship to authorship. These letterforms are not entirely his type. They emerge from collaboration with systems that have no intentionality. Only pattern recognition.
Bezic positions himself between director and observer. He sets parameters. The machine makes choices. The result is a shared space where human intention meets algorithmic interpretation. Where neither party holds complete authority. Where style becomes a negotiation rather than a decision.
