Episode 80: Marcus Byrne - AI and the Future of Creativity
Marcus Bryne is an accomplished illustrator, Head of Art at Thinkerbell and father of seven-year-old illustrator Charlie Marker - a previous guest on The Common Creative.
Marcus's recent personal projects have captured global attention. His explorations into AI have led to viral sensations such as "What if Antoni Gaudi designed regular household appliances" and "What if graffiti tags influenced the architecture of the buildings they once adorned?"
These projects gained significant traction, being featured in renowned publications like Forbes, Trendhunter, Designboom, Cool Hunting, and even landing printed pieces in Germany. Marcus was also interviewed by The Guardian UK about his groundbreaking work.
In light of the growing influence of AI in the creative industry, Marcus is interested in exploring how we, as humans, can utilize this power for social good, or if it's too late to control its impact.
Join us as we delve into his experiences, his creative journey, and his insights into the ever-evolving intersection of art, technology, and social impact.
