I predict that someone will make an algorithmic version of this and post it to HN within a month.

#12How to automate this:
- pick a seed image and then:
- run one of those "caption generating" algorithms on it (are any open source? what are the best ones?)
- feed the caption into google images
- pick the first result
- repeat
Probably also wants something simple to prevent cycles and fixpoints.

#13"Back in the days" image morphing software was somewhat popular. It could be fun project to run these images through some automated tool to create a continuous video of one image morphing to another then to third and so on.

#14Here's a statement from the creator: http://dinakelberman.com/imgoogle/imgoogle.html The relevant bit: >Firstly, lots of people ask if it's an algorithm or something. It's not! Just me searchin google. >Secondly, a lot of people assume this blog is therefore made predominantly by using the "visually similar" function on Google Image Search, which is a totally reasonable thing to assume. While I definitely employ that…

Love that...I sometimes worry we're getting to a point where those who haven't programmed before don't realize they can do things without apps. Such as making a data visualization by drawing. Or math.

You might not need to morph it, just play it back at 24 fps and the results might be quite interesting. Essentially the hard work of interpolating frames has been taken care of by choosing a slow progression of one image to the next.

#16Somebody needs to automate this.
Like with Mechanical Turk right?

#17The transitions are brilliant!

There is already an algorithmic version like this. Video here: https://vimeo.com/34949864

#20Some of the break rooms where I work have a computer you can do searches on. There are some Google image searches that just shine like diamonds. Most of them are somehow PBS related for some reason. "Bob Ross" "Fred Rogers" "Ernie and Bert", etc. I started an odd little game of people leaving google image searches on the break room machines.
You'd walk in and.. "Hedgehogs!"
