Surrealism and SO-realism
Jason Rambo
Anybody can cobble things together, babble/write automatically, and, in
general, let the id out to play....
Looking at the real world takes effort and sensitivity.
Mimetic need not be dogmatic.
However.
There is a oddball dimension to our daily lives, a barely hidden
insanity that murmurs like crickets in the distance on a warm summer night.
If you look hard enough, it appears.
Perhaps, then, this is the path to take/
depicting the real world so intensely and vividly that its bizarreness
becomes apparent in the foreground, without having to toss it into the
audience's laps, as surrealism often does.
Call this new philosophy SO-realism.
Depicting the mundane vividly in order to draw out the bizarre.

There is no insanity. That is the message of the surreal.

Take a cow, now....
