  • Cyberpunk Brain in a Box Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    These images are called Brain in a Box 1, 2, and 3. The idea behind them was a electronic-organic computer assemblage that fit into a 19″ server cabinet. The brains are modeled on my fMRI scans, and the background cabling and box perspective come from another controlnet layer using a snapshot of a networking setup with bundles of ethernet cables. The lighting details and computing element details varied based on my prompt.

    I liked how #2 seems like a universe of constellations of lights and wires beneath a transparent brain-shaped cover.

    Number 3 is the brightest of the series. Its brain combines the previous two aspects–transparency and brain folds.

  • Cyberpunk Brain Connections Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    This is another image from the series that includes this previous post. I call it Brain Connections. I made it with A1111 and controlnet configured with an image from my fMRI scan. Thinking about how generative AI systems are building up different expert combos to best respond to queries and how they are linking together different kinds of systems that handle different multimodal aspects of advanced systems (e.g., STT/speech recognition > input > generative AI > TTS > output), it reflects how many such brains will make up the generative AI systems we will be using going into the future. This is opposed to singular, monolithic AI systems depicted in films like WOPR in WarGames (1983).

  • Cyberpunk Innerspace Interface Image Made with Stable Diffusion

    Cyberpunk Innerspace Interface Image Made with Stable Diffusion.

    I call this Stable Diffusion crafted cyberpunk image, Innerspace Interface. With the introduction to multiple controlnet layers, I began creating images like the one above. I applied an image of a server farm aisle as the background, a 1790 portrait of Immanuel Kant attributed to Elisabeth von Stägemann (Anton Graff school) as the subject, and a screenshot of a 3D rotated brain model to match the orientation of Kant’s head in the portrait. In the prompt, I added the technical details, futuristic leather jacket, and feminine facial features.

  • Anthropomorphic Cat Wearing a Hoodie and Working on Computers Made with Stable Diffusion

    Anthropomorphic Cat Wearing a Hoodie and Working on Computers Made with Stable Diffusion.

    In this Stable Diffusion made image of an anthropomorphic cat wearing a hoodie and jeans, we find the subject in a workshop surrounded by computer parts and multiple monitors. The main parts that needed repair with inpainting were his hoodie pull strings and what was displayed on the computer monitors (originally, the center one had a ghastly distorted face, but I was able to replace it with computer code). Also, almost all of the anthropomorphic cats need inpainting on the paws to make them look like real paws instead of fur-covered human hands and fingers.

  • Cyberpunk Brain at the Center Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    Cyberpunk Brain at the Center Image Created with Stable Diffusion.

    This is another image created using my fMRI brain scan images with Stable Diffusion, A1111, and controlnet. My brain’s folds turned into pipes and took on this heat map coloration. The lines of connection surround the brain–kind of like the path of your ship in Konami’s Gyruss video game.
