This interview with Patrick Lichty focuses on his long-standing practice across new media, conceptual art, performance, cyberculture, and artificial intelligence. Lichty discusses his connections to Dada, Fluxus, net.art, cybernetics, and critical media traditions, while examining how technology mediates reality and transforms artistic production. Drawing on his experiences with Second Life, virtual worlds, and VR, he also explores artistic possibilities beyond the physical world.

A central theme of the conversation is the relationship between artistic practice and curating, writing, research, and education. Lichty approaches AI art not simply as an aesthetic output or production tool, but through concepts, context, experimentation, and critical thinking. He discusses authorship in AI art through the distributed relationships among artists, models, data, software, and cultural knowledge, while also questioning how legitimacy and value are constructed within the art world.

The final part of the interview expands from the potential impact of AI on the art world to the future of criticality. Lichty emphasizes the importance of understanding both the history and technical foundations of technological art, arguing that artists need to develop new tactics in an environment where critique can be rapidly absorbed by the systems it challenges. Through ideas such as slowness, glitches, low resolution, and materiality, he invites us to reconsider art’s relationship with authorship, legitimacy, critique, culture, and the production of reality.
