Description:

The Deep Dream algorithm was created in a series of experiments that led to the generation of psychedelic images full of intricate details that swept across the globe in the summer of 2015. Slides 4-8 show images that were created on the way to the final algorithm. Scientific progress is enabled by accumulation of ideas and building on the work of others. For example, p.4 “Just before DeepDream 1000 classes” shows a few images out of 1000 that were generated by the algorithm inspired by the paper . The network was also different: these images were produced by the AlexNet , created in 2012, which is often cited as one of the main triggering points of the Deep Learning revolution. These images lack the resolution and rich details, but already show promising capabilities of deep nets for image generation. The subsequent slides show steps that Alexander Mordivntsev took to improve the fidelity of the machine generations and finally giving the network more “creative freedom” by formulating the objective for amplification patterns already perceived by the network in a particular input image.

Custard Apple is one of the first DeepDream images produced by its inventor, Alex Mordvintsev in May 2015 before its public release.

DeepDream is a computer vision program developed by Google engineer Alexander Mordvintsev, utilizing a convolutional neural network (CNN) to enhance patterns in images through algorithmic pareidolia, producing surreal, psychedelic visuals. The program popularized the term "deep dreaming," referring to the generation of images that activate specific features in a trained deep network. Originating from Google's "Inception" neural network for the 2014 ImageNet Challenge, DeepDream's open-source code was released in July 2015. The process involves feeding an image into the neural network and iteratively adjusting it based on the network’s recognition of various features, amplifying edges, and shapes to create hallucinatory effects where familiar objects morph into complex, often bizarre patterns. DeepDream showcases the power of neural networks in image processing and offers insight into the workings of machine learning models, merging technology and art.

Created in May 2015, minted as a unique NFT on request as part of the group show "Automat und Mensch 2.0," a retrospective of AI history at Kate Vass Galerie. While DeepDream was released in July 2015 as an open source for public use, Custard Apple was made before Google's public launch and only became allowed for sale since June 2024. This work was also featured in a 2018 article by curator Jason Bailey.
