With apologies to Thomas Cole. The empire is extinct, the landscapes burn and regenerate after being destroyed by the political power and money. Manifest Destiny was a lie. Look closely and you will see signs of a crumbled empire. A collage of many landscapes (including those by Thomas Cole) and images of Trump campaigning made with machine learning software created by Robbie Barrat and a model he curated with historical landscapes from wikiart.org bit.ly/art-dcgan. Robbie did not collaborate on this work as I just used a portion of his model with permission.
