LECTURE

In this class, we were learning about DIGITAL SURREALISM.

Fig 1.1 Realism vs Surrealism

Realism - Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme.

Surrealism 
- A twist on Realism. It explores the subconscious mind, with subject matters concentrating on dream-images and often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call reality
- It defies logic. Dreams and the workings of the subconscious mind inspire surrealistic art (French for "super-realism") filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions.
-Fuelled by the teachings of Freud and the rebellious work of Dada* artists, surrealists like Salvador Dalí promoted free association and dream imagery. 

Dadaism*

An anti war art movement with art works that is  satirical and nonsensical in nature
