Image Generation Prompt for VQGAN-CLIP based image generation

Using the term Artificial Intelligence or AI as a defining functionality of how these techniques work is incorrect. Generally speaking, to define the methods used to create image-based artwork using these techniques are better defined as a subset of Machine Learning: specifically, pattern matching techniques that use a rule-based methodology for assembling and blending a collage of meta-tagged images.
Although it is relatively easy to generate images with AI art using online tools, Generative Adversarial Networks or GANs accessible to Google Collab network notebooks, like with any content creation technique it’s quite difficult to create imagery that has consequential meaning. The approach I’m taking integrates the phenomena of pareidolia to infuse meaning into the imagery. With quotations by artists, poets, authors, and philosophers the imagery is complemented.

“All is visible and all elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.”
