What happens when you run pornography through Google DeepDream? Sheer bad trip terror!

Sheer bad trip terror! Last week, Google released its psychedelic DeepDream program to mass public fascination and acclaim. Using computer systems called “neural networks” that are modeled on the human brain, researchers created code that allows the primordial artificial intelligence of these cybernetic networks to transform photographs into psychedelic dreamscapes. Here’s how the image recognition and alteration works: We train an artificial neural network by showing it millions of training examples and gradually adjusting the network parameters until it gives the classifications we want.

M. LARSON) Don't worry. I'm here. She sees something evil in the darkness. Huis Marseille - Dancing Light: Let It Move You. A photograph is a photograph, and a dance is a dance: stillness versus movement.

Huis Marseille - Dancing Light: Let It Move You

At first sight these two art forms might seem to be poles apart, but the exhibition "Dancing Light," showing throughout the newly double-sized Huis Marseille, proves the opposite. Along with film and video, photography turns out to be an ideal way to illuminate the characteristic emotionality and transport of dance—its 'primal power' to move us.

Duende (literally 'elf' or 'spirit') is an untranslatable concept, a mysterious force that is manifested in the combination of certain sounds, words and gestures. "Dancing Light" captures the raw expression of flamenco in photography and in moving images.

Prior to the 1970’s basic colorization was possible but required carefully painting color onto film stock. The invention of the computer has completely altered the way we restore historic photos thanks to digital colorization. Research is conducted to match colors as closely to how they really looked as possible, but in some cases artists must guess which colors to use.

The Devil and his Servants: Demonic illustrations from 18th century occult book I had a friend who liked to collect occult illustrations from the earliest woodcuts of witches sabbats to hand-painted plates of winged demons.

Similarly fabulous creatures can be found in the illustrations to the Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros, a rare book on the occult dating from 1775 which is held by the Wellcome Library.
