It is a wonderful, thoughtful project, but it's an art project.

While that's great, I don't come to Hacker News for the latest interesting art project.

I think like many people that clicked the link and scrolled through the images, we made the assumption that these were put together using some algorithm that mined Google's 'visually similar' search and then somehow found the best results in order to create a set of images that 'flowed'.

It's a little disappointing to learn otherwise, but it's now kicked off a train of thought about how I might automate something similar. :-)

There's nothing wrong with interesting art projects on HN. Story diversity is the most important thing to preserve here.
