Editing Surrealist automatism (section)

==Contemporary techniques==
The [[computer]], like the [[typewriter]], can be used to produce [[automatic writing]] and [[Surrealist techniques|automatic poetry]]. The practice of automatic drawing, originally performed with pencil or pen and paper, has also been adapted to [[computer mouse|mouse]] and [[computer display|monitor]], and other automatic methods have also been either adapted from non-[[digital media]], or invented specifically for the computer. For instance, filters have been automatically run in some bitmap editor programs such as [[Photoshop]] and [[GIMP]], and computer-controlled brushes have been used by [[Roman Verostko]] to simulate automatism.<ref>[http://www.verostko.com/gallery.html Pathway Studio Gallery<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
