AUTOMATISM: Text, Film
and Sound Response.
In the context of this lesson
automatism
relates to a method of drawing/writing that corresponds to a form of
‘scribbling on paper’. As one of the methods embracedby the
Surrealists to engage a more immediate connection with the
unconscious, automatism
provided a method for making unconscious associations more visibly
present and instinctive. Automatism connected the artist with the
immediacy of experience by attempting to dissolve control of any
conscious or rational interpretation of the world. Essentially this
lesson engages elements of automatism in the form of film, sound and
text as a means of exploring the layered relationship between
perception and representation.
BRIEF: Students
need to come to this lesson prepared to embrace the experimental
methods and unexpected
outcomes that follow.
Students
are come to this lesson prepared with three different automatistic
responses.
An
Ekphrastic poetic response (poetic response to any art work of your
choice)
A
series of random sound recording
A
series of random filmic response
In
this lesson students will engage in a series of automatism-‐based
exercises that relate to sound, film and textual elements. The lesson
will allow students to formulate a more structured response to each
of the components gathered in preparation for the class. The outcomes
for this lesson will remain open-‐ended and may be extended
into the final free studio session before assessment.
