Last month Google introduced a trippy program called DeepDream, which early adopters have used to generate psychedelic variations of everything from Hieronymus Bosch to porn (NSFW!). By taking these objects and subjecting them to analysis using a “neural net”—or what’s known as “deep learning”—DeepDream produces images bubbling with eyes, birds, blinding contours, and other things that look like they belong on the cover of a King Crimson album. It’s dazzling and surreal—further evidence of Salvador Dalí’s discovery that eyeballs can only improve art—but also creepy. It suggests some sort of creativity in the mind of the machine doing the processing, and some sort of dreamer at the heart of the dream.
