'Surreal philosophy' Print Laptop Case

What is surrealism?

Surrealism, a 20th-century movement, delved into the human mind, celebrating the irrational, poetic, and revolutionary aspects in literature, philosophy, and art. Surrealism became renowned for its visual artworks and writings, which showcased uncanny and illogical scenes executed with photographic accuracy.

One of the Key Features: What does uncanny mean?

The concept of the uncanny originated from German psychiatrist Ernst Jentsch's essay in 1906, describing it as something new and unknown that can be seen as something negative at first.

Sigmund Freud later repositioned the idea, defining it as the feeling when something is familiar yet alien, uncovering hidden or repressed aspects. Surrealist artists drew on this notion, creating artworks that combined familiar elements in unexpected ways to evoke uncanny feelings, thus integrating the concept into their philosophical exploration.

Technology: The Uncanny Valley Effect

In modern technology, the term 'uncanny valley' is applied to humanoid robots, audio/visual simulations, and video games that closely resemble humans but lack complete realism, resulting in an unsettling feeling. This phenomenon is considered in various design fields, including robotics, video game art, training simulators, life-like dolls, and 3-D animation.

The uncanny valley is named for the drop in viewer comfort as a simulation approaches but does not achieve perfect realism. Simulations that lack significant aspects of reality or those that satisfy the viewer's expectations do not trigger this effect. However, when simulations mix realism and surrealism or reach near-realism, they often cause the eerie sensation, especially if the simulation is in motion.

Surrealism and Modern Technology

Surrealism's exploration of unnerving and illogical scenes, rooted in philosophical inquiry, contributed to the understanding and recognition of the uncanny valley phenomenon in modern technology, as both concepts aimed at creating a feeling of unease and strangeness through the manipulation of familiar elements.
