Some images created by Caedmon are really disturbing
Other are very elaborated
And some of them are very futuristic-looking
All those images derives by two "human" artworks
Caedmon performs an analysis of two artworks and mixes what he learn together
In order to create totally new pictures
Which it then mixes again
Until reaching very novel results
Which are influenced by what people likes or not
So that the system is constantly improving
With the aim of generating, at a certain point, the "definitive" work of art
Caedmon is fed by both traditional and contemporary artworks
Not only paints, but also prints
It gets inspiration by traditional, european art
As well as from art from other ages and areas
