Surrealism juxtaposes familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts, creating dreamlike scenarios that are simultaneously convincing and impossible. The movement values surprise, unexpected combinations, and the visual language of dreams. AI is particularly adept at surrealism because it can seamlessly blend disparate elements, creating impossible physics, scale distortions, and metamorphic forms that would be extremely difficult to achieve through traditional means.
