We’re living through an AI revolution, and while most eyes are on its impact in business, there’s something wild and wonderful happening in the world of art—especially surrealism.
AI has become a new kind of dream machine. It generates visuals that feel like they’ve spilled straight from the subconscious—strange, fluid, otherworldly. There’s a magic to how it blends logic with chaos, much like the original surrealists did. But instead of brushes and oil paint, we now have algorithms painting with probability and pattern.
The above video struck me is the “Surreal AI Animated Video”, repeating the phrase “I’m lost in the haze, my mind’s out of phase.” It’s hypnotic. A loop that feels like a dream caught on tape—beautiful, unsettling, and deeply surreal.
Of course, with every new creative revolution comes uncertainty. Many artists are understandably anxious—will AI replace them? But history tells us something different.
Art has always evolved through disruption. We’ve lived through waves of creative reinvention:
🎨 Classical Realism gave way to
🖌️ Impressionism, then
🌀 Expressionism, followed by
🧠 Surrealism,
✍️ Dadaism,
✒️ Abstract Art,
📸 Conceptual Art, and more recently
🖥️ Digital and Generative Art.
Each movement once shocked the world—and each one opened new doors. AI is just the next chapter. Yes, it may transform the role of the artist, but it will also give birth to an entirely new genre we haven’t even imagined yet.
This isn’t the end of art. It’s a rebirth.
