Art of the Unconscious Mind

This video is about the origins of surreal art, and the many attempts to depict the unconscious mind. From apocalyptic dream art to impossible landscapes, fantastical painting has had a long history. As we explore the history of surreal art and proto-surrealism, we’ll see how Aboriginal Australians depicted the dreamtime, how renaissance illusionists like Arcimboldo tricked our minds into seeing faces, and how the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) art has changed our definitions of creativity.
There’s plenty to discuss, so sit back and enjoy! If there are any artists or artworks you would like to learn more about, do let me know in the comments. There is so much to talk about when it comes to the bizarre visions of Salvador Dalí, or the haunting sketches of Odilon Redon. What would you like to see?
Happy New Year! It’s the start of Season IV and I’m really excited to get going. An aim I have this year is to streamline my editing process, meaning that I can get more videos out to you wonderful people. Thank you for 734,000 subscribers.

I wonder how vivid dreams would be without my tech addiction

[@vincenttt8289]

That's what drugs are for

[@raulpetrascu2696]

My dreams would be so boring if I didn't watch so many movies

[@samhhhhh]

I use tech all day and still have vivid dreams

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

I don't know. Most of my dreams often take place in a dreamland version of the real world, oftentimes my hometown. I get scenes where my house is bigger than I remember them or how fancier the mall is. Sometimes, I get a great turquoise sea beside it or the skies look like straight up from the Flammarion Engraving and Zodiac charts...

[@Anna-po1sb]

I have dreams of going to a really old big house way out in the countryside. I also have dreams of really big waves in the ocean and they make me excited and happy. Those are the most common 😅

[@user-ub3ix9du7i]

"even without thinking, our busy minds are creating little pieces of art, all the time." such a whimsical way to view it

[@neilerator]

Noteworthy is also the use of dreams in classical music. Immediately there comes to mind the "devil's trill sonata" by Guiseppe Tartini. Tartini himself said: "One night, in the year 1713 I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul. Everything went as I wished: my new servant anticipated my every desire. Among other things, I gave him my violin to see if he could play. How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy. I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and I awoke. I immediately grasped my violin in order to retain, in part at least, the impression of my dream. In vain! The music which I at this time composed is indeed the best that I ever wrote, and I still call it the "Devil's Trill", but the difference between it and that which so moved me is so great that I would have destroyed my instrument and have said farewell to music forever if it had been possible for me to live without the enjoyment it affords me." It's a really interesting musical work and I highly recommend listening to it!

The jellyfish thing really fascinates me, since I see images like that in my mind quite often. Whenever I close my eyes and let go of focus, my mind starts to float and generates images that constantly change and morph into different things, growing complex in the same way a drop of ink in water would. I struggle to represent and explain the experience, but it is incredibly fascinating, and I am wondering if I am alone in this? Does anyone else experience this?

i know i sound old and crusty for saying this, but i have a burning hatered for ai art. like, imagine growing up your entire life with the dream of becoming an artist. art isn't just a passion, it is the air you breathe and the blood in your veins. it is what gives your life meaning, the reason you're still alive, what pushes you onward into the future. And then some computer people just decided "hey let's program ai to do what artists do, but faster and cheaper." at that point, why pay an actual human artist for a comission when you could just type a prompt into an algorithm for it to spit an image resembling art almost instantly. with the way tjhings are going, in a few years i wont have even a hope of getting a job, much less being able to make a living on this skill that i've been tirelessly building FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. i live to create art, and if that's taken away from my by some lifeless, souless lines of code (which realitsically is what's going to happen), then i don't know what i'm going to do.

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

You're conflating digital images to physical works of art. My linocuts, or digitally rendered Artistamps printed then oerforated on a 19th Century Rosback perforator can be shared by mail throughout the world. Likewise, a watercolor or oil painting or pen & ink drawing are physical works of art and; therefore, different from something that appears on a computer monitor. EDIT: I should add that I'm old if not crusty.

Gotta love not properly being able to remember ones dreams, only ever hanging on to a sliver that will escape once your thoughts move even slightly to something else.

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

Remembering dreams at all has a lot to do with how you feel when falling asleep and the amount of sleep. Ideally you'd wake up just as the dream is ending, to get the most of it but not have forgotten it. This, however, requires active monitoring. Just sleeping long enough and falling asleep really relaxed (could be relaxing, but not boring and lifeless music) in my case tends to yield more dreams. Also ashwagandha and lidocaine sore throat pills increase the chances of having dreams, though I do not take them specifically for that purpose. also, I didn't say good dreams, just any kind. Even some bad dreams are to me better than just wasting time when sleeping, at least they are interesting. And to remember a dream you remember having, it is crucial to think of it a lot during the day you had it, especially the first hours after waking up, and maybe the day after. The first few hours or days after any event is when the short-term memory is being copied to long-term memory if deemed significant by the brain, or forgotten otherwise.

[@tigerhooouse]

i really love the way you describe unconscious art, and the concept of picking up little bits of art all the time especially in relation to seeing faces in various places.... sometimes when i'm just starting at a tile or wood or anything with a variated natural pattern i can visual art in it. not always faces (but often so) just styles and artwork that i can piece together from the shapes i can make out, like 'automated drawing' that i didn't have to do lol. i also had an art professor at one point who was a surrealist, and they had us all doing these automated drawings and picking out shapes among our work to go off of, often (among classic stuff like chiascuro) :) this video pretty much summarized my love for surreal art and this process.

[@june2409]

It could be argued that artificial intelligence artwork does come from a consciousness, or rather a collective human conscience. Often this AI programs will draw on Internet images and searches to create this image, and these searches and images are uploaded by humans. If the AI program is asked to produce an image of Santa Claus, it does so using online user inputs, such as images of Santa Claus people have created. The image produced is an amalgamation of thousands of different people's inputs. I think AI art is very interesting as it explores something that's difficult for one person to capture. Surrealism explored individual consciousness, while artificial intelligence explores a collective consciousness.

I’m a novice surrealist paint/ink artist but I have spent hundreds of hours with AI doing exactly as you stated at the end of the video, and I completely resonated with it. I use it as a way of intentional, yet unconscious art, and with human specificity of particular grammar, tone, etc. it’s extremely possible to literally make dreams a reality before my hands could ever get it on to a page the way I wanted it. I’m not a huge fan of how AI is being used, but for me it’s been rather transformative. Amazing video, don’t know how I missed this one, got lost in the algorithm I suppose but incredible work as always!

About the automatic drawings, yes they were supposed (to be and) to look like scribblings! but labeling them with another name was an act to give the casual drawing the same dignity as the common painting had on the common viewer's eye + think deeper about its making-of process... they were seen as another data, for the surrealist movement members, about the human brain's subconscious and its imaginative power. More interesting are the exquisite corpses the Surrealists invented at the time! Despite the name it is still now a funny game to play with your friends, I suggest to check that out! :)

On the topic of dream-inspired art - the main man behind the terrific, yet nowadays inequitably forgotten musical project - maudlin of the Well, who goes by the name Toby Driver (idk about the other members of the project who were changing from album to album), stated to "find his music for it in the astral plain" through lucid dreaming and astral projection, rather than compose it. Now whether you believe in astral projection or not (I myself am a firm sceptic towards such concepts), the music created under this project, at least to me is really sth else and strictly for me it's one of the most if not the most important pieces of music I've ever heard and there totally is sth surreal about it. If you're interested in it, I'd recommend starting with the album "Bath", then "Leaving Your Bodymap". It's truly some amazing stuff

The subconscious is such a facinating thing. In one way, you can say subconsciously we freely have all types of thoughts and feelings. It can induce anxiety, yet if u learn to not overthink, or judge. You can embrace that subconscious. Almost like allowing ur inner youthful wonder join your adult self and when balanced right. It can really fuel creative imagination in our Life and the acceptance of the absurdity of the universe and the parts of it that are seemingly unanswerable. Yet those unanswerable aspects of the universe in another person who hasn't found this inner balance, can be driven mad from overthinking and worry.

[@kire5442]

Your thorough explanation on the development of this Art direction has sparked some thoughts. Surrealism would be a means to an end when anything that is oddly put together is generally categorized as something from the dream-like realm. I think there could be more. As I question the potential of this art form, I fell back to the application of lines and took off from Surrealism while following the same trend of thoughts on conscious, subconscious and unconscious. The works up to now are still nevertheless rendered by the cognitive brain to make an image recognizable. Therefore, any finished artwork is very much intentional instead of naturally flowing out from the psyche. I can see the residue of a face in Andre Masson’s drawing. It is the closest anyone has gotten to the brink between subconscious and conscious (ie. he did not `properly’ finished the face). Unconscious, on the other hand, I’d say, is scribble mindlessly without any sense involved. Artistry and character can be noted in subconscious lines. From the works of Mondrian, Miro to Pollock, the accidental crossing of lines has proven a faith in action. It is a belief, as Alan Watts put it, `an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth’. Without cognitive interference on the lines is the only way to keep the doorway open to the flow of hidden messages and revelations. The ancient Chinese used an instrument to write on sand for directions from the `higher order’. It is a kind of fortune telling... tapping into the future/unknown. So, if I were to scribble lines on a page and found faces/figures/compositions hidden in between, would this be a revelation, a step further…or something totally off track from Surrealism? Or merely pareidolia? Anyone? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKDGZmygrtykoZo
