Here’s a link to a new film by cashumi: Cut-Up as Magical Method: From Burroughs to Bowie—and Into Painting. The description provided says:
Burroughs’ view of art as a “magical” tool for altering reality aligns with Crowley’s idea of Magick as intentional change through symbols. His cut-up method was meant to break language open and release new meanings—almost a ritual disruption of ordinary perception. Musicians like David Bowie and Paul McCartney adopted this technique to generate unexpected lyrics, treating fragments as creative triggers. While cut-ups shaped literature and music, they were rarely applied to painting beyond basic collage. That absence makes the idea of bringing true Burroughs-style cut-up logic to visual art especially interesting: using fragmentation and recombination on the canvas to reveal new meanings the way cut-ups do in text.
