The Automatic Message is taken from Andre Breton, poet and spokesperson of the surrealist movement in the early 20th century.

This exhibit follows that original idea, in the visual domain.

For us city-dwellers there is still the sky, we just look up and there it is. But we easily forget the vastness of the universe and get caught up in our human accoutrements which seem vast and perhaps consumptive of the natural environment. This exhibition re-calibrates the natural/human-made lens through which we, the many, (and too many) people see the world we live in. This is the Big Sky/Little Man show, where sweeping skies above the plains of earth and big environments are tugged on by the many, puny people.
