Is Google’s Deep Dream art?

Online magazine Hopes and Fears asks this question to various people in the field of art and technology, including myself. Here is a little extract:

It is easy to dismiss this as a modern form of psychadelia, but what this has made accessible to the public the idea of an artificial psychology of an artificial intelligence, and how it can connect to us: humans and computers are pattern-recognition entities processing immediate information. Ideas such as pareidolia, habituation and the ‘Tetris Effect’ come to mind, how our repetitive mental actions leave their impressions on us. If art has the purpose to illustrate the human condition, #deepdream has become a high profile entry point in this field.
