These images were generated by combining images output by the BigGAN artificial intelligences, using the ganbreeder website. BigGAN is a program that can generate images in various categories; ganbreeder lets you combine categories. The AI is particularly good at combining mechanical and organic forms, but mostly in a really unsettling way.
It's a lot of fun, and I wish I had any use for slightly creepy, dreamlike, machine generated images, like if I was writing a mildly unsettling RPG that needed some illustrations, or a book of poetry about being trapped between the walls of the world, down where the gears are.
