Thoughts about the creative potential of deep neural networks
Generative poetry with images While the predominant “prompt engineering” approach to generative art treats deep neural networks (AIs) as tools to be finely calibrated, I have treated them more like collaborators—whose abilities, predilections and...
I was traveling in New Mexico for a few days and not generating images. Here are a few done since I got back, centered around a few varied scenarios. I am becoming increasingly comfortable...
I just discovered the Midjourney “Blend” command. Since I have been concentrating on creating mashups, this is likely to come in very handy. Below are a few experiments I created from existing images. Going...
My work over the past week has been constrained to fewer generations than I would like, but here are some samples. The first group has abstractions based on physics and mathematics concepts; the second...
The Surrealist movement originally flourished in the early 20th century, initially in literature, especially poetry. Soon, however, it spread to visual art and other media, such as ballet, theater and cinema. Today we mostly...
The past week was a busy one for image generation. Much of my effort fell within some fairly well defined scenarios, which are represented in galleries below: Tranche 2: Tranche 3: Tranche 4: Tranche...
I gave MJ V5.1 this prompt: “A tsunami of input overwhelms a neural network –style raw” There are no style or formatting instructions beyond “raw”, which I find necessary for V5.1. My aim was...
As well as the deep exploration of the Enchanted Forest (previously posted), I also generated more images across a range of subjects and with varying look and feel. One of them shows MJ’s rather...
My typical MO for image generations is to do a few that are based on some situation and then move on to a new one. Recently however, my prompts landed me in an enchanted...
The big news this week is Midjourney has migrated to Version 5.1, so I made some images to try it out. V5.1 creates more detailed images, but its native mode is “opinionated”, which basically...
