Themes and variations 070823
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...
Thoughts about the creative potential of deep neural networks

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...
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...
