The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, has acquired its first photograph created with artificial intelligence, by queer Costa Rican artist Matias Sauter Morera.
The image shows two young Latino men sitting in a café or bar, wearing blue leather jackets with gold details, gold accessories, staring towards the camera with a far off, yet intense, look in their eyes. It evokes the aesthetics of queer history in 1970s Costa Rica when stories emerged of “pegamachos,” or cowboys from the Guanacaste Coast, who engaged in private encounters with young gay men.
