When we (the human and I, not Flutter… she’s not much help when it comes to critical culling of our work, because she totally loves everything I do, equally, which is lovely, but, as I say, not helpful (: ) get to a stage, with Mj, where we are either unable to continue an iterative thread, or it just stays the same, and stops evolving, we deliberately throw out random prompts that we think might dramatically change things up. We tried ‘surreal polaroid’, and got the above…

… from there, we were away, again!…

… Mj hadn’t given us the result we envisaged, but we were totally happy with the images we were getting…

… from there, it was just a matter of changing the prompts, but keeping ‘surreal’ in there, somewhere…

… although we even dropped that, sometimes, but substituted it for words describing non-standard reality…

… Mj does wonderful surrealism, I suspect because it actually has no idea what it’s doing, no idea what ‘reality’ even looks like, so it has zero problems creating strange reality…

… in fact, you have to keep it within your chosen parameters, otherwise it starts creating absolute visual garbage, insanely cluttered images that resemble little more than an explosion in a junk shop…

… but, if you can keep the weirdness under control, you get beautifully surreal imagery.
