Do androids dream of glitch?

I’ve previous written about and discussed at conferences the difficulty of achieving glitch effect with AI image generators.  Back in February I began experimenting with using my glitch art as an image prompt combined with other of my photography and various descriptors.  What came out of these sessions became whole new worlds of the AI’s wildest imagination.

The first set of combination photos I did used the above photos.  It took a few generations and using the terms “anagylph” along with the weird parameter to finally get to the other world.

I ended up calling the series “Journey in Midnights.”  The surreal landscapes echoed the use of infrared photography with the dark skies and red hues on the vegetation.  This is just one example of the strange outputs I was able to get through this process.

Have you used a generative AI system with your own works as prompts to explore the latent space?
