DeepDream is a computer vision AI created by Google which utilises a convolution neural network. It looks for and enhances patterns in images using a process called algorithmic pareidolia. Essentlly, it’s seeing things that aren’t really there. Like the face we may see on the surface of Mars or bunny rabbits & dragons in clouds.
We’ve seen it used on still images for a while and you can make your own here. But this video takes things to a whole new level. Based on a 5 minute clip from Bob Ross’ The Joy of Painting the visuals in this are just plain ridiculous. And if it wasn’t creepy enough already, the sequence is played backwards. So, have a watch of Bob Ross unpainting a picture on LSD.
