one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

Glad to see CRTs are still alive and well in the future... or are they?

Does not look like WoT to me...

The meaning of art is at least as important as the aesthetics and I don't get it; could you explain?

Also of relevance:

"SURREALISM, n. m. Pure psychic automatism by means of which one intends to express, either verbally, or in writing, or in any other manner, the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, free of any aesthetic or moral concern."

From "https://triapul.cz/b/breton-andre-first-manifesto-of-surrealism.txt".

Oh well, is it at least canonically part of the Analog Nowhere universe?

If I may: " ... However, surrealist art cannot ever be produced with any intent and cannot therefore aim to create a specific aesthetic." "The resulting aesthetic of surrealistic output is always a by-product. Indeed there is a recognizable style to the last century's surrealistic works, but it was a result of that age. True surrealism of today will not produce similarly looking visual art, because today's minds are influenced much differently from the minds of the old surrealists." ( from: https://analognowhere.com/unix_surrealism/#unix_surrealism ... look for: "a word on aesthetics").

Hope that helps, and please disregard if my comment is out of place.
