To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Psychedelic art is a visual art style that emerged in the 1960s, heavily influenced by the counterculture movement and the widespread use of hallucinogenic drugs like LSD. It is characterized by vibrant colors, surreal imagery, and intricate patterns, often aiming to replicate or evoke the experience of altered states of consciousness. This art form is closely associated with music and cultural phenomena from the same era, including rock concerts and album covers.
Psychedelic art's Midjourney style representation is marked by vivid, neon colors and intricate, swirling patterns that create a sense of depth and movement. The compositions often feature fantastical and surreal elements, blending organic shapes with cosmic landscapes. The use of digital illustration techniques allows for smooth gradients and textured surfaces, enhancing the dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere. This style captures the essence of visionary art, with a focus on imaginative realism and a dynamic flow that draws the viewer into a whimsical, vibrant world.
