This animation by computer artist Glenn Marshall was created using artificial intelligence and deep learning in a technique called 'artistic style transfer'. In this instance, the neural artistic style transfer was applied to a computer animated fractal.

Here, the computer analyses a source image such as a painting, learning the style of the artist and creating a neural model at a deep conceptual level, much how the human brain would - it then applies this understanding to ‘paint’ a new image converting any kind of photograph or image to the learned style, as if it were painted by that artist.
