AI portraits

An imagined journey.

Thirty AI-generated portraits of Atakan Özalan, Co-founder & CTO of GOGOGO LLC, GOTONOM and GeoMono. Each scene is imagined: he walks into rooms where work was done by hand and brings the machine, then the agents, then the instruments that check what AI says.

Every image on this page is an AI-generated illustration of Atakan Özalan, made by his AI agents with an image model from one reference portrait. The scenes are imagined: none is a photo of a real place, event or archive.

The real journey, with dates and the family photo

01

Work once done by hand

Rooms where people counted, typed, connected calls and drew maps by hand, and one man with a laptop. The joke is the point: the work stays, the tool changes.

  • AI illustration in black and white: Atakan Özalan at a desk in a 1950s-style accounting hall, rows of clerks working on abacuses around him, his laptop the only glowing cyan object.
    Imagined: a hall of abacus clerks, and Atakan Özalan with a laptop.

Day one, imagined

The classic founding photo, restaged with him in it: a garage, a first office, a workshop and a floor of schematics. None of these rooms existed; they are a genre, not a record.

  • AI illustration styled as a 1970s snapshot: Atakan Özalan in a corduroy jacket in a family garage, holding a circuit board beside a workbench and a soldering iron.
    Imagined day one: a garage bench, a circuit board and Atakan Özalan. The genre of the founding snapshot, not a real one.

    Imagined: thinking on the floor among logic diagrams. Atakan Özalan, the design before the code.

Commander of agents

His work today is systems of AI agents: many workers, one plan. Here that becomes terminals, robot arms, a chess exhibition, a classroom of tin robots and a puzzle finished together.

Measuring what AI says

At GeoMono, where he is Co-founder & CTO, the work is measuring what AI answers say about brands. The instruments here are literal: calipers, a scale, a polygraph, an interview, a game of telephone, five engines side by side and red string.
