automatikimin

Automatikimin is a literary and philosophical movement that emerged in Finland during the mid-20th century. The term is derived from the Finnish word for "automatism," and refers to a set of ideas and creative practices that emphasize the individual's unconscious mind and automatic behaviors.

Key figures associated with the automatikimin movement include Suomenlinna-based artists Aukusti Oranen, Mika Keränen, and Paavo Paassakkalu, who were part of a group known as " Finnish Automatists". Through their work, these artists sought to uncover the unconscious mind and explore the relationship between the rational and the irrational. By engaging in automatic drawing and writing practices, they aimed to tap into the subconscious and break free from habitual thinking patterns.

Automatikimin's influence can be seen in experimental and Surrealist art movements of the time. The movement's focus on the role of the unconscious in creative processes has also had an impact on the development of psychoanalytic theory and the study of human behavior.

The automatikimin movement can be viewed as an attempt to stretch the boundaries of traditional art forms and explore new possibilities of self-expression and perception. Through their innovative and groundbreaking work, the artists involved in this movement continue to inspire artists, writers, and thinkers to this day. The work of the Finnish automatists challenges traditional notions of creativity and offers insights into the workings of the human imagination.
