The thought of being so wicked had been thrilling—almost intoxicating. The reality was uncomfortable and dull.

Does wickedness open up new and intoxicating vistas?

Would the judgemental owl staring through the peep-hole agree?

And what about the poor squid? Is it uncomfortable and dull?

How well does this capture the liminal space between expectation and reality?

About this project:

We wanted to see what an artist might have produced given only a quote and a few contextual hints. In most cases we generated a single image to see how well the machine's dreams captured some meaningful aspect of the text.

All of the quotes in this series of images come from The Alyscrai, Book One of the Looking Glass of Souls, by D.H. Aidan. You can learn more by following the "Buy Print" link to the book's page on Amazon.
