The practice or theory of the spontaneous production of words (speech or writing), drawing, painting or other creative production, or behavior in general, without conscious self-control or self-censorship. There are two types of automatism: mediumistic automatism, in which the speech, writing or behavior produced is purported to be communicated from ghosts, spirits or the like, channelling through a psychic or medium, and surrealist automatism. Andre Breton, the founder of surrealism, defined it as "pure psychic automatism."
Based on the surrealist theory that automatism represents the highest historical era of the conception of creative production, or at least the highest historical era of the conception of creative production thus far conceived of, is the concept of the "pre-automatic dictatorship."
