The importance of the subconscious as a source of inspiration is central to the nature of surrealism.
The surrealist movement has been a fractious one since its inception. The value and role of the various techniques described here has been one of many subjects of disagreement. Some surrealists consider automatism and surrealist games to be sources of inspiration only. Others consider them as starting points for finished works. Some consider the items created through automatism to be finished works themselves, needing no further refinement.
A printed image produced by the offset lithographic process, then 'altered' by means of gouache, pencil and ink through automatic suggestion encouraged by the original image. This method first discovered and employed by Richard Genovese starting in 1974, draws inspiration from the dialogue set up in the relationship between words and images; this dialogue attempts to bridge the concrete visual poetry of words and the suggestions of aural quality of the image, encouraged by this method.
Automatic poetry is poetry written using the automatic method. It has probably been the chief surrealist method from the founding of surrealism to the present day. One of the oddest uses of automatic writing by a great writer was that of W. B. Yeats . His wife, a spiritualist, practised it, and Yeats put large chunks of it into his prose work, A Vision and much of his later poetry. Yeats, however, was not a surrealist.
"Automatic poetry generators" exist online, but it should be noted they do not actually generate automatic poetry in this sense.
A coulage is a kind of automatic or involuntary sculpture made by pouring a molten material (such as metal, wax, or chocolate) into cold water. As the material cools it takes on what appears to be a random (or aleatoric) form, though the physical properties of the materials involved may lead to a conglomeration of discs or spheres. The artist may utilize a variety of techniques to affect the outcome.
This technique is also used in the divinationDivination is the occultic practice of ascertaining information by supernatural means. If a distinction is to be made with fortune-telling, divination has a formal or ritual and often social character, usually in a religious context; while fortune-telling process known as ceromancy.
Cubomania is a method of making collageCollage is the assemblage of different forms creating a new whole. For example, an artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, photographs, etc. glued to a solid support or canvas. Decoupage is a tys in which a picture or imageIn common usage, an image (from Latin imago or picture is an artefact that reproduces the likeness of some subject—usually a physical object or a person.

The technique was first used by the RomaniaRomania (formerly spelled Rumania or Roumania is a country in southeastern Europe.

Romania also has a small sea coast on the Black Sea.n surrealist Gherasim LucaGherasim Luca (or Gherashim Luca) ( July 23, 1913 February 9, 1994) was a surrealist theorist and Romanian poet, frequently cited in the works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.

This definition of cubomania is to be distinguished from the use of the word to mean "obsession with cubes."
