PSYCHIC AUTOMATISM
A technique consisting variously of unconscious provocation, sensory limitation, and flirtation with liminality via different mediums to produce a tangible result. A call from and answer to the void.
The outcome of such is chimeric and oracular in nature, prompting interpretation defying the explicit.
20th century artist, Austin Osman Spare, is considered to have pioneered this innovation as a creative form with occultic inference.
Descriptors are limited on this site to allow for immersion in the nature of the method.
