Archillension Extension

Get a shot of aesthetic inspiration every time you open a new tab.

This lightweight extension replaces your new tab page with the three most recent images or animated GIFs generated by Archillect (archillect.com), a machine learning project by Murat Pak.

The layout is simple and adaptive, designed to showcase the media and its thematic development. A new image or animated GIF is added once every 10 minutes. For the curious, each image is linked to its source.

Note that Archillect may produce NFSW images-- though almost always tastefully.
