  Surrealist automatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Automatism is a surrealist technique involving spontaneous writing, drawing, or the like practiced without conscious aesthetic or moral self-censorship.
Automatism in Surrealism has taken a many forms, from the automatic writing and drawing initially practiced by surrealists, to similar, or perhaps parallel phenomena, such and the non-idiomatic improvisation of free jazz [1].
Surrealist automatism is different from mediumistic automatism, from which the term was inspired.

If a computation is unpredictable and you want to know what state it’ll be in after, say, a million steps, you pretty much have to crunch out those million steps to find out what’s going to happen.
The computation performed by the physical motion is unpredictable in the sense of not being reducible to a quick shortcut method.
I say “paracomputer” not “computer” to point out the fact that this is a natural object which behaves like a computer, as opposed to being a high-tech totem that we clever monkeys made.

Verostko writes about the process of uncontrol: "In the initial phrases of the computer work, I sought to write a simple programme just to sample the use of the computer as a medium - that is, just to get the computer process to generate the work.
Successful computer automatism would have to imitate 'automatic art', a genre of artistic activity that began early in this century.
"Automatic art, tachism, and abstract expressionism are terms loosely associated with the idea that one can express something of one's psychic life, something that lies under, above or beyond conscious life, by working in a dreamlike or trancelike state.

 Automatic drawing - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Automatic drawing (distinguished from drawn expression of mediums) was developed by the surrealists, as a means of expressing the subconscious.
In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper.
This is perhaps a more pure form of automatic drawing since it can be almost entirely involuntary - to develop a representational form requires the conscious mind to take over the process of drawing, unless it is entirely accidental and thus incidental.

Such drawing, similar to doodling in an absent-minded state, was practiced by the Surrealists in the 1920s and even earlier by some of the Dadaists.
