Recordism is an ideospheric mutation of the meme known as Surrealism.
Recordism refers specifically to the act of "recording" - a metaphor for the application of chance and automatism to the creative act. Recordism is both the process of "recording" and the set of ideas which surround and inform that process.
Recordism was found(ed) in Truro, Nova Scotia, Dec. 5, 1984.
The Recordists are a multi-disciplinary art collective based in Toronto, Canada. The collective consists of the artist couple W.A.Davison and S.Higgins along with various friends and collaborators. The group operates largely within the vaguely defined territories of various music and art subcultures, a.k.a. "the underground" - a zone which affords the highest degree of creative freedom.
In addition to producing their own solo work, Davison and Higgins are dedicated networkers and place a high priority on collaboration. Over the course of 40 years, The Recordists have forged hundreds of friendships and collaborative relationships. The Recordists have associations with many underground networks and scenes such as mail art, performance art, experimental film, alternative art, Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus, Neoism, The Church Of The Subgenius, T.O.P.Y., Situationist International, free improvisation, poetry and experimental literature, science fiction fandom, queercore, anarchists, pataphysicians, cassette culture, netlabels, and various punk, post-punk, noise, industrial, and experimental music networks.
1) Dada, Surrealism, The Fantastic.
2) Punk, Post-Punk, Industrial, Underground, DIY culture. Experimental art, music, film, etc.
3) Magick and the Occult.
