MEGA_MAC

This image of a half-eaten "Mega Mac," a titanic 4-patty version of the Big Mac sold in Japanese McDonald's restaurants, was originally captured and rendered through the Google DeepDream neural network using its original image set in 2015. Google had just made the DeepDream algorithm open source and this rendering was accomplished on July 9th, 2015 using virtualbox and boot2docker software. The image was rendered through the DeepDream neural net several times to produce increasingly hallucinogenic results, which were then combined into a looping graphic using Premiere Pro. Original photography and deep dream rendering done by FPW. July 9th, 2015. Kyoto, Japan.
