Surreal 404 Renaissance Memory Collage

Generates a distressed surreal collage poster of a ruined classical temple merged with servers, a floppy disk crash, brain diagrams, and retro system-error typography.

Prompt
Goal: Create a surreal Renaissance-style 404 collage poster about digital memory loss, combining ancient architecture, retro computing, anatomical diagrams, and distressed editorial typography. Canvas: Square 1:1 composition, aged beige paper background with torn-paper collage edges, halftone stains, fine grid lines, blueprint registration marks, and archival print texture. Use a muted palette of warm parchment beige, charcoal black, concrete gray, rusty red, and faded blue. Main subject: A monumental classical temple resembling the Parthenon dominates the center and lower half, shown in three-quarter perspective. It has a long colonnade with exactly 16 visible white stone columns. The structure is cracked open and partially collapsed, revealing dense server racks, circuit boards, cables, and exposed wiring inside the ruins. Large chunks of plaster and stone are missing, with jagged torn edges. Key surreal object: A giant black 3.5-inch floppy disk crashes into the right foreground at a diagonal angle, half buried in shattered concrete, sending a dramatic burst of debris outward. The floppy disk has a pale rectangular label area and visible side ridges. Text and typography: On the upper left, set a large editorial serif headline reading “MEMORIES SAVED, SOULS DELETED”, with “SAVED,” and “DELETED” in rusty red and the rest in dark charcoal. Above it, add small technical text reading “FIG. 01” and “HUMAN MEMORY ARCHITECTURE (FRAGMENTED)”. Beneath the headline, add small typewriter-style lines reading “THE PAST IS PRESERVED. THE SELF IS LOST.” and “ARCHIVE PROTOCOL_404 VERSION: 7.1.9”. Keep the typography elegant, old scientific, and slightly misregistered. Diagram details: Include exactly 2 anatomical brain illustrations on the upper right: one large floating brain labeled like a scientific plate, and one smaller circular cross-section brain diagram below it. Add exactly 3 circular technical diagrams around the poster: one large faint circle near the top center-left, one central crosshair circle labeled “BRAIN SECTION_017”, and one small left-side circle near the columns. Add thin measuring lines, tiny numerals, plus signs, and red calibration marks throughout. Foreground detail: Place exactly 1 small retro Windows-style error dialog near the bottom center. It should have a blue title bar reading “System Error”, a red X error icon, body text reading “Critical Failure. Memory cannot be saved. Continue?”, and a single button labeled “OK”. Style: Hyper-detailed photomontage, surreal 404 error Renaissance collage, archaeological ruin meets cybernetic archive, analog computer nostalgia, brutalist marble dust, museum plate layout, screenprint grain, torn paper layers, precise but distressed graphic design. No people, no modern clean UI except the single error dialog, no extra headline text, no watermark.
