AI and the Collective Subconscious: From Surrealist Automatism to Digital Dream Machines

With Diana Đukanac and Valentina Bošković Marković (Književstvene – Association of Citizens). What connects Surrealist automatic writing and today’s generative AI? This Versopolis Traineeship Class explores how both challenge ideas of intention, authorship and creativity — from automatic writing and the collective subconscious to AI as a contemporary “dream machine.” The class also includes a practical experiment in which participants transform automatic writing into AI-generated images and back into text, creating a digital echo of the Surrealist Exquisite Corpse. 🔗 Learn more: www.versopolis.com/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/versopolis Facebook: www.facebook.com/Versopolis
