William Gibson posted this link to his blog about a Dutch site with an "art" generator.
All you do is fill in the artist and the title field, and an image is produced as a sort of amalgam using your search terms.

http://nag.iap.de/?ac=create&lang=en

I tried it using "Picasso" and "Las Meninas" and got
the following monstrosity.








 


I was rather ambitiously hoping it might morph together several of the Maestro's versions of his tribute to the Velasquez masterpiece. Instead, the result was the above which, is still, I guess, interesting. The program at work seems to apply a few randomized techniques to a mixture of pictorial elements obtained through multiple google image searches.

ANOTHER OF GOD'S LITTLE TOYS
posted 8:38 AM

William Burroughs, in the early 1960s, called the audio tape recorder "God's little toy", enthusiastically incorporating it into his "cut-up" methodology.
As far as I know, WSB never much took to personal computing, but playing with this, yesterday morning, I was reminded of his having remarked that a heroin addict can find simply staring at his own shoe sufficient entertainment for a good three or four hours.

This program is obsessed with a crappy posterize effect.

Thanks for the bumps and kindly wading through all the "DDN versus" threads.

I just got through playing with this a little more and it seems the two and four image options are getting the better results.

I would probably end up cropping these up myself if I chose to use anything generated by this site.

I am getting some okay results every now and then, but yeah, most of them are crap. This is actually one of the better results I got for "sonic youth" + "sonic youth" using the 4 image option.
