My art is too advanced.

Chapter 9 Surrealism

Early Monday morning.

Zhou Yue still didn't rest.

He is still waiting for the system's weekly settlement.

on Monday.

There were some sudden changes on the panel.

"Last week's overall assessment: The abstract art value was 580."

He looked at the specific coefficients.

Influence is the initial number.

Among them, expert recognition accounted for 98%.

Then the degree of abstraction and artistry are calculated using percentages.

In other words, putting aside those other coefficients, his panel value this week depends entirely on expert recognition?

After all, influence is the initial value.

In other words, this is how the value of abstract art is calculated today.

[Abstract art value (panel value) = influence (expert recognition 98% + other 2%) * artistry % * abstract degree % * public recognition % ]

Obvious.

Almost all of his panel values ​​were given by Teacher Guo.

"But these panel values ​​can't even afford an advanced course?"

You can buy a few basic courses, but they are of little use.

At this moment, he realized how expensive the beginner's package course was.

I sighed softly.

His eyes stayed on the lottery level.

"Last week's art settlement, the overall assessment grade was C-, and you have the opportunity to draw the yellow wheel."

This artistic settlement is divided into three types: degree of effort, level of knowledge, and influence.

It all depends on his effort now.

After all, he was not idle for long. Now it was the starting stage and being rated C was already pretty good.

The rating levels are divided into S and ABCD.

Corresponding to the orange, purple, blue, yellow and white of the turntable.

Now it was the yellow turntable, and he took a look at what was on it.

There are still a lot of good things.

But they are all basic things, some basic courses, such as psychology, philosophy, and some literary history courses.

There are also some books.

There are architecture, aesthetics, and even astronomy.

The rest are some calligraphy and paintings by famous people, and sculptures.

He doesn't care. At this stage, it doesn't matter what he gets.

It is impossible that this yellow turntable will produce for you some famous things from your previous life.

However, the fact that it can appear on the turntable is enough to prove its extraordinaryness.

At the basic stage, it is definitely good.

"lottery!"

The turntable turns.

Finally settled on a book.

Zhou Yue frowned slightly.

He didn't know much about the book.

"Naga".

This is the name of this book.

Among the literary works that I was familiar with in my previous life, it was definitely not a bestseller or a famous one.

"Since it is a book produced by the system, it should have corresponding abstractness?" Sure enough.

After he took a look at the introduction of the book, his eyes narrowed slightly.

[This is a masterpiece of surrealism, which has greatly influenced Western literature since the early 20th century. It uses surrealist writing to mix dreams, subconsciousness, and automatic writing.]

The story is told in the first person, narrating the story of a man and a woman named Nadja, how they met and fell in love, then had disagreements and separated, and finally the woman went crazy.

The novel's heroine, Nadja, is a mysterious character with a fragile body and strange make-up.

However, she has a strange ability to predict things. For example, she can predict that the house will flash red light in a minute. Sure enough, she said that there is a tunnel under the hotel, which was dug centuries ago and she was imprisoned there.

Psychiatrists would consider her a psychopath.

Just took a quick look at the following interpretation:

Nadja is a character created by the narrator's imagination, a product of his hallucination, which he confuses with reality.

At the beginning of the novel, it is hinted that Nadja is not a real character, but a surreal existence.

The reality and imaginaryness of the characters are actually the result of the author's subconscious mind.

Because hallucinations and subconsciousness are intermittent, the characters appear and disappear, mysterious and unpredictable.

The novel's narrative is incoherent, the thoughts jump around, and it's rambling and irrelevant.

This is automatic writing.

Zhou Yue understood.

Isn’t this a similar idea to that of “Daogui”?
A fantasy world combined with the real world.

However, this kind of surrealist work has only one world subject. Since the heroine is imaginary and the author's subconscious fantasy, it is even more profound.

For surrealism, which is based on Freud's psychoanalysis, the analysis of one's own soul and subconsciousness is particularly important.

But this is pure literature, and its readability is weaker than that of popular culture such as online literature.

But the depth of it is far beyond what online literature can match.

Can it be said to be the "Tao Gui" in literature?
And that automatic writing method, a name came to his mind.

AI?

Free and disorderly.

Is there any essential difference between it and AI?
It’s just that automatic writing methods are more fragmented, and artificial intelligence still has to follow some underlying logic of the language.

Zhou Yue hesitated for a moment.

“Now doesn’t seem to be the right time to release it.”

This kind of pure literature even has some philosophical elements. Even if it is published now, it may not have much impact.

It takes a lot of things working together to produce real practical value.

For example, the author of "Nadja" spent almost his entire life writing surrealist works, and also created a framework for surrealism, making him one of the founders.

"After you have gained enough fame, you can publish this kind of pure literature. Otherwise, it might be drowned out now."

If we publish it directly now, we may not be sure whether any publisher will accept it.

However, since these books have had a huge impact on an era and have been written into literary history, they will never become outdated.

Just wait for the right time.

However, the appearance of this book made Zhou Yue re-examine what abstraction means.

This kind of surreal thing breaks the convention and reality.

It is also like deconstructivist architecture. Although it is also called abstract, it has not been completely abstracted to the philosophical level. It is so illusory that people cannot understand it.

There are still some aesthetic things.

Just like, the plot in "Nadja" is as beautiful as a dream, as if it was written with some fantasy in mind.

As a top artist once said, "I dreamed of painting, and then I painted the dream."

Although deconstructivist architecture is also messy, it also carries the architect's thoughts and a complex aesthetic.

“Abstract is also beautiful.”

“Surrealism is also half abstract.”

"It seems that we didn't gain much today? It's a little worse than expected, but we also gained some different things, such as thinking?"

"Forget it. I don't want to think about aesthetics or structure. I should go to bed early. I have to go to work tomorrow."
