Keith Aylmore makes generative AI art under the name KWANO. Oslo-based. Working across still image, motion, and immersive formats.
Two decades of making things for screens came before this: graphic design, advertising creative technology, data visualisation, product design. That history trained a particular way of looking. One less interested in output and more interested in decisions. What gets kept. What doesn't. Why.
In 2025, work was shown in Miami, Basel, London, Gijon, Phoenix, New Jersey, and Oslo. In January 2026, recognised as Ambassador for AI/CC, the Artificial Intelligence Creative Community.
The interesting space is not what the model does well. It's what happens when you ask it for something it has no good reference for, and then decide what to keep from the result. Not glitch. Something more specific than that.
Still images and motion. A lot of it monochrome. The process is slower than the tools are capable of. That's intentional.
Available for commissions, editorial, and exhibition.
"There’s a subtle humanity in his practice that distinguishes it from purely technical digital art. His compositions feel like living organisms...evolving ecosystems of monochrome, pattern, and rhythm that question the nature of consciousness and creation itself. For me, the works evoke both a sense of futurism and nostalgia, with as much soul and storytelling as the best of traditional painting or sculpture."
