Google Deep Dream reinterprets Gustave Dore’s Lucifer.
DeepDream is a computer vision program created by Google which uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia, thus creating a dream-like hallucinogenic appearance in the deliberately over-processed images.
Below, the original work for Milton’s Paradise Lost, by Doré (1866)
Wastes of pre-memory: seas of ill-conquest, bathed in stars, Risen blind with the drunkenness of a retching crew … They all have flowers in their eyes – storms of the bountiful, Raging hearts, fecund & salivating marchers.
In the beginning & the end there is only THIS curse, To believe with eyes of strangers that this IS Covenant, A meeting ground between sinking castes, revenant tides.
All that is born in the bath, seeding with blind recalcitrance; Order of Hypatia, gathering at the shores … Reduced to a science, they revolt with non-euclidian borders; Inter-dimensional afterbirth: in the Dawn of Heavy Monsters.
Nothing like the ones who saw it coming, with color & fury, Purple face of its bloated mastery over the shifting of plates, Delirious effusions of green gases reducing pressures within.
Incongruous doom, behaving like a child everywhere it goes, Truth of the moment sparing no abstraction, Ruptured will IS will again, penetrating to reservoirs of dusk, Where sea touches sky, reflecting static of intoxicating unions.
