Abstract

Many recent experiences done by AI in the fields of augmented creativity and computational art are full of unleashing the algorithms’ surrealist power. Surrealism, the avant-garde movement Breton launched in 1924 in Paris, combined his artistic needs with those of nascent psychoanalysis: so, dream stories, automatic writing and simulations of mental illnesses allowed historical surrealism to make a notable contribution to the development of psychoanalysis. Now that neuroscience and AI are joining both psychoanalysis and Surrealism, the absence of dream simulation in historical surrealism is even more striking. Dream Simulation is by now a new psychotherapeutic strategy, conceived in Italy by Dr. Francesca Vagnoni, which presents interesting points of contact with the experiments the French neurosurrealist group Obvious is carrying out by AI.
