Introduction to the Meme Art Contest

## Art is Meme

"In 1936 Walker Evans photographed the Burroughs, a family of
sharecroppers in Depression era Alabama. In 1979 in Sherrie Levine
rephotographed Walker Evans' photographs from the exhibition catalog
"First and Last." In 2001 Michael Mandiberg scanned these same
photographs, and created AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com
to facilitate their dissemination as a comment on how we come to know
information in this burgeoning digital age."

## Art you able to do it too?

At

	https://www.afterwalkerevans.com/imagesA.html

there are pictures that during the contest should be replicated.

Are you able to do it?

There are prizes!

## Contest Rules

Please use ircs://irc.bitreich.org/#bitreich-meme for trying out prompts
on annna to not disturb other channels.

If many prompts are done at once, things will be slower. So consider a
good prompt before sending it.

Here is some help in how to beautify prompts:

Of course you can try it too randomly:

	::black and white photo of man beautify::

This will run the script above but optimize randomly.
