I do believe surrealist automatism is itself the symbol, nay the height of that principle.

now when we want to watch something or read or play we have to make a conscious effort to do that thing and it’s less of an automatism

Has anyone else been to the Ithell Colquhoun at Tate Britain? I found it a bit of a mixed bag, but here are some of my favourites pieces.
Ithell Colquhoun (Self-portrait) Undated Ink and wash on paper These self-portraits were begun using decalcomania, a surrealist technique Colquoun used extensively from the late 1930s. The process involves applying ink or paint to a surface, then pressing another surface against it, creating mirror images. Colquhoun worked up one sheet, delineating facial features while leaving the other side undeveloped. National Portrait Gallery, London. Given by the National Trust (Cornwall Regional Office) 1999 Water-Flower 1938 Oil paint on canvas Exhibited at The Mayor Gallery, 1939 This sensual flower takes on bodily qualities, with fleshy petals and buds. The composition shows Colquhoun's interest in boundaries, here between the flower above the surface of the water and its roots below. In this period, the idea of an animated, spiritually infused world began to emerge in Colquhoun's practice. Water-Flower was designed for the women's ward at Moreton-in-Marsh Hospital near Colquhoun's hometown of Cheltenham. Arts University Plymouth Dervish, c. 1952 THE TARO In 1977, Colquhoun produced designs for a set of tarot cards Tarot decks date back to mid-fifteenth century Europe and are typically used for fortune telling and playing certain games. They usually include 78 pictorial cards divided into the Major Arcana (trump cards) and Minor Arcana (four suits). Some occultists mistakenly thought that the tarot emerged from ancient Egypt. Colquhoun rejected the common spelling, believing 'Taro' was a truer reflection of these supposed origins. Colquhoun's deck is unique, featuring no pictured figures or symbols. Instead, the artist used dripped enamel paint to create abstract compositions. Rather than providing direct instruction, Colquhoun designed her deck as a meditative tool and spiritual aid. Her cards combine the spontaneity of surrealist automatism with the Golden Dawn's interpretation of colour theories from Jewish mysticism. The full deck was exhibited at the Newlyn Art Gallery in 1977. In her 1978 essay 'Taro as Colour, Colquhoun recalled: "After I had completed the pack, I saw some slides showing nebulae in outer space and the birth of stars. These recalled my designs and confirmed my conviction of their cosmographic function:

Besides, it no is claimed-a dat-a de old "automatism" has disappeared; it only asserts itself on a scale larger than before, at-a da level of-a major economic phenomena, while individual facts have "gone wild".

Week in review of works on paper.

My own blend of modernism, surrealist automatism, and colorfield. All works are available.

These works on paper are as direct and uncomposed as possible. These forms pass by my minds eye at a rapid rate. Some stick out more than others. This one i feel will get a lot of additional works.

Surrealist automatism

I started with a black half circle. The rest grew from there. A fun aspect to automatism is that the end result is a surprise to me as well.

Yea. The problem is that when cults are given power, there are always followers in subordinate positions who are willing to turn even the most insane or barbaric ideas into a reality. Then a kind of administrative automatism comes in, which proves impossible to stop. That's how atrocities happen.

...as is evidenced in experimental forms, e.g., Andre Breton, who, once a champion of "automatism," later described it as a catastrophe, and warned of its potentially destabilizing effects. Whether Breton's initial or revised view is "true" in any practical sense, it speaks of process.

It is da question of-a bringing out how in historical evolution relatively permanent forces are constituted which operate with a certain regularity and automatism.

In fact, far from the Christian submission to God, Spare's automatism is a means of becoming individual, courageously so. This, of course, means that to be an individual is to become individual at the expense of the "ego", the "petty false self", the psyche-intellect-self complex.

Forest and Sun https://www.artic.edu/artworks/185760/
Among his many recollections of childhood, Max Ernst often recounted his fear and fascination with the forest that surrounded his home. He wrote of feeling “delight and oppression and what the Romantics called ‘emotion in the face of Nature.’” By expressing his thoughts in these terms, Ernst linked himself with the spiritual landscape tradition of Romanticism, which conceived of an invisible realm at work in the natural world. This dark and mysterious forest scene dates to one of the most creative periods of Ernst’s career. Spurred by the Surrealist leader André Breton’s proclamation of “pure psychic automatism” as an artistic ideal, he developed the innovative technique of frottage, his term for the method of reproducing a relief design (like the surface of a piece of wood) by laying paper or canvas over it and rubbing it with a pencil, charcoal, or another medium. In Forest and Sun Ernst used this technique to create a petrified forest, which he imbued with a sense of primordial otherworldliness. By scraping away almost-dry paint on the canvas (a process he called grattage), the artist produced the encircled sun at the center of the composition. Ernst painted six variations of the forest and sun theme. As in the other five canvases, the tree trunks suggest a letter in the artist’s name: in this case, a capital M. Bequest of Richard S. Zeisler

Have you read any Michael Cisco? Might be worth looking into Unlanguage and Animal Money if you want surrealistic contemporary literature, though not using automatism.

3 things required for playing vs tight blocks:

✅ Movement & Rotations
🟥 Speed of Passing
🟥 Passes to break lines

Arsenal are doing 1/3 right now + automatism based attacking. It's not ideal & teams know the script.

My former student Indra Joachimsthal wrote an excellent graduation research paper about Automatism and made it into a beautiful booklet. Happy to have made a contribution with 'knowledge, sources and inspiration'.
Interactions like these with students make teaching extra joyful.

Because it's all about singular control of the oligarch owner.
