Surrealism 052223
The Surrealist movement originally flourished in the early 20th century, initially in literature, especially poetry. Soon, however, it spread to visual art and other media, such as ballet, theater and cinema. Today we mostly associate the term with painting and sculpture.
As a visual movement, Surrealism employs images beyond formal organization to strip away surface meaning of the world, in search of a deeper, underlying psychological truth. One very powerful tool for such ontological restructuring uses constructs gleaned from the human subconscious to break the patterns of surface reality. This approach is typified in the work of artists like Salvador Dalà and Leonora Carrington.
I am currently mining a new vein of Surrealism, using the profoundly alien constructs of my neural network collaborators to likewise disturb surface reality. The results shown below offer views of potential realities that are informed by non-human associations in latent space.
