Массюрреализм: Технология мен бұқаралық ақпарат құралдарының әсерімен туған сурреализмнің жаңа бағыты

Art movement started in the 1990s

Massurrealism is a portmanteau word coined in 1992 by American artist James Seehafer,

Massurrealism is a development of surrealism that emphasizes the effect of technology and mass media on contemporary surrealist imagery. He had begun his work by using a shopping cart, and then incorporating collages of colour photocopies and spray paint with the artist's traditional medium of oil paint. and in Latin America Seehafer has stated:
cquote|I am not being credited with inventing a new technique, nor I don't think I should be credited with starting a new art movement, but rather simply coining a word to categorize the type of modern day surrealist art that had been lacking in definition. As a result, the word "massurrealism" has received a lot of enthusiasm from artists. Though there are some who feel that defining something essentially limits it, the human condition has always had the need to categorize and classify everything in life. In 2005, graffiti artist Banksy illicitly hung a rock in the British Museum showing a caveman pushing a shopping cart, which was described as "a nice tribute to James Seehafer and Massurrealism."

British artist Alan King started to experiment with a combination of digital and traditional art methods in the 1990s, producing a majority of his works with photography and using computer techniques combining digital images with a multitude of traditional methods including oils, ink, acrylic, and watercolour. Nationally renowned photographer Chip Simons incorporates both his photo images with digital collage. German artist Melanie Marie Kreuzhof, who describes her work as massurrealistic, was commissioned in 2004 by the editor of the Spectakel Salzburger Festsiele Inside magazine to produce an artwork about Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera Die tote Stadt at the Salzburg Festival. To make her work she took 9 digital photographs, composed them in a computer and printed the result directly onto canvas, which was then attached to a wooden frame, worked on with acrylic paint and had objects attached—3 guitar strings, a strand of hair and a silk scarf. and conceptual artist / film set designer Jean Pierre Trevor describes his 'massurreal approach' to his multi media work. American Southern artist John R. Adams / Johnny Ramage's work consists of digital media, photography, and random Google images chosen through an automatic style and rendered in unsophisticated photo editing software. Ramage's work often focuses on ominous, absurd images inspired by frightening childhood events all depicted in style that suggests a low fi, or 8 bit and contemporary aesthetic.
