deep_dali_waves

Introduction

Computational art using empathetic Artificial Intelligence and dynamical systems. This can be used to understand life as we do not know it.

This repository has outreach and recreational mathematics activities for lay people to understand alternate views of life (life as we do not know it).

Installation

The Python programming language can be installed from

https://www.python.org/downloads/

Clone or download the repository.

git clone https://github.com/neelsoumya/deep_dali

The dependencies can then be installed by typing the following at the command line:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The NetLOGO language can then be installed from

https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/download.shtml

Alternatively a version of NetLOGO that can be run from the web browser is available here:

http://netlogoweb.org/

Usage

Type the following command at the command line:

python3 deep_dream.py deepdali.jpg result

A modified dreaming picture will be saved as result.jpg

The image has a dream-like quality and emphasizes the beauty in life and in dynamical systems.
