The colors that appear on computer screen are lights and are distinguished by hexadecimal codes. They can be used to perform mathematical operations in the same way as with numbers. So it’s math, but I think it’s alchemy at the same time, but of course not in the classical sense of the word, but symbolically. In DeepDream, we mix colors and shapes in different proportions. In many cases, the result can be discarded because it does not meet expectations. Now I only work and experiment from my own material. The basic image is usually black and white, the style is colored.
