Generative Loops
Preliminary experimentation exploring the effects of iteratively feeding the model (MidJourney v6.0) the images and descriptions it creates. More in details:
‍
  • Ask the model to describe an original image
  • Use the generated description as a prompt to generate a new image
  • Ask the model to describe the newly generated image
  • Use the new description as a prompt to generate a second new image
  • Loop this procedure for a number of steps and analyse the resulting series
