Wallpapers: Fusion Meets Art
Here are a few artistic wallpapers that resemble various concepts of fusion energy

Truth is, I needed a new wallpaper and I had been relying on a very nice impression of a fusion reactor in Japanese style from a twitter post. It was about time, I would do my own ones with fusion as a theme.
One of the first tasks where generative AI showed its muscles was with changing the style of photos as painted by an artist. See for examples DeepArt who released the first version in 2015 (more than 8 years ago). Of course now we can not just change styles but simply generate new images in any style we want. It still takes several tries and longer commands but often it comes out well.
Fusion is about the sun. Well, at least fusion happens “close” to us on a large scale and while solar panels harvest the product, humankind for the longest time tried to replicate that process. The human is watching the sun while understanding what happens.
I also tried some more technical parts but in all honesty, the fine details didn’t come out well.
After a few tries, I decided to take my creativity in a new direction. Isn’t fusion sometimes described as the “Sun in a Bottle”? That sounds not very technical and stylised at best, on the other hand, exactly what I needed for the next images.
That came out well. But I am actually mostly working on the bottle in my everyday life. So I wanted to highlight what the bottle represents and that we have to connect this bottle to a whole lot of power plant related items. Clearly from previous experiments, I knew that the artist paintings wouldn’t work here so I had to use a more realistic style. This is what I came up with and I enjoy the cute table-top setting:
