About the reference in article to deep learning producing art:
The thing is that what a current net is doing is very simple. It's just extrapolating from a set on a high dimensional feature space.
There's no meaning here and so it's hard to generating a bunch of pseudo-data as art. It's fun and interesting when you do it a few times so any semi-random technique like ink blots or fractals but if you produce a steady stream of something like that, it's unoriginal, non-artistic qualities become more obvious.
