Man Combines Random People’s Photos Using Neural Networks And The Results Are Amazing

If you're not sure what you're looking at when you look at the pictures below, don't worry, you're probably not alone. But rest assured, your eyes don't need testing and your screen doesn't need fixing. Because these bizarre images, created by users via Russian website Ostagram, are the product of an art technique known as Inceptionism, where images are combined using neural networks to generate a single mind-bending picture.
A neural network is a computational model based on the structure of a biological neural network. In other words, it works like a human brain. Conventional software operates within strict parameters but artificial neural networks have the ability to "learn" by being fed more and more data over time.
The images are possible thanks to DeepDream software, which finds and enhances patterns in images by a process known as algorithmic pareidolia. It was pioneered by Google and was originally code-named Inception after the film of the same name. And looking at these pictures, it’s easy to see why.
If you understand Russian then head over to Ostagram to make your own crazy Inceptionist artwork!

Are these pictures accesible in higher resolution? I would LOVE to print them on my wall!

I see a beautiful symbol of the beautiful interconnectedness of life and death.

What do you think ?
those guys basically copied the stuff we invented - if you want to get HD images you should check out the original: http://deepart.io/ Best Leon
So you guys created this? From Google? Or?

Where can i find it in hd definition
I don't understand why the last nine or so were uploaded. Nothing to do with the topic, and some of them looked bad… Disregarding those last few images, these were great. Fun way to waste time.
