VR in Midjourney
As an experiment to work with an actual photograph in Midjourney, I imported my standard head shot. This the first image in the slide show. I then instructed MJ to modify that image in...
Thoughts about the creative potential of deep neural networks

It has been another productive week and once again I have culled quite a few images in the interest of brevity. I had a lot of fun for a couple of days creating images...
I typically create a set of variations around any theme that seems to have good potential to produce engaging images. It is often interesting to see the different ways that the neural network will...
This has been a very productive week and I really had to cull a lot of images to get this post to a reasonable size. One useful strategy was to use important art-historical artifacts...
After spending some time trying to work around Midjourney’s newly found literalism in interpreting abstract prompts, I just had to admit this is how things are now and proceed to make work anyway. As...
My generations over the past week have been rather eclectic, not really focusing on any one theme. One constant has been my continued efforts to improve using some of the advanced Midjourney commands. I...
Here is a selection from my latest round of generations. Some are variations on a theme and others are more one-off explorations. Although I remain uninterested in “prompt engineering” as such, I have been...
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...
