I climbed Ulriken yesterday. Well, only halfway, because it was late and the gnats were driving me mad, but on the way down, as the sun was setting, I noticed that if I focussed on the grass instead of the sunset the grass became silhouetted. How pretty, I thought, but I couldn’t quite find the Japanese kind of image I wanted. The mountain kept getting in the way. | ![]() Grass in the sunset Originally uploaded by Jill. |

Have you tried playing with the mini version of DALL-E yet? It’s fun! What DALL-E does is generate wonderful images from written prompts, using a neural network trained on images scraped from the internet that have English language captions attached to them. […]
Call for submissions to a workshop, Bergen, Norway
Workshop dates: 15-17 August 2022
Proposals due: 15 June
The Machine Vision in Everyday Life project invites proposals for an interdisciplinary workshop using qualitative approaches and digital methods to analyse how machine vision is represented in art, science fiction, games, social media and other forms of cultural and aesthetic expression.
For the Machine Vision in Everyday Life project we’ve analysed how machine vision technologies are portrayed and used in 500 works of fiction and art, including 77 digital games, 190 digital artworks and 233 movies, novels and other narratives. You can browse […]
I think you should learn R! No really – I’ve spent the last 6-7 weeks learning R so I can visualise the data we’ve collected in the Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives, and it’s not as hard as […]
I’m a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago this year, affiliated with the Center for Applied AI at Booth School of Business. I’m excited about the opportunity to learn from a different disciplinary approach to AI and machine vision. I discovered […]
I’m giving a talk at an actual f2f academic conference today, Critical Borders, Radical Re(visions) of AI, in Cambridge. I was particularly excited to see this conference because it’s organised by the people who edited AI Narratives A History of Imaginative Thinking […]

Damn those montains!
I think the orange of the sunset is competing with the silhouette of the grass. Perhaps you could reduce the saturation of the image to get something a little better balanced?

I see what you mean, but I *like* the glowing sunset! The composition’s not quite right – I think the grass should have been sort of down and right a bit, and the mountain, maybe, lighter, and then maybe the balance would have worked out. I’m not sure. But it’s fun trying to find perfect images!

Jill,
The mention of “Japanese kind of image” led me to play a Renga game with mountain moving.
