We'll start with Brion Gysin (1916-1986), best known for developing the "cut-up" technique, which involves cutting up text and rearranging it to create new works. This method was influential in literature and was later adopted by Burroughs.

@oldmantelegram the past few years, with all the ai silliness going around, I think about Gysin more and more. nowhere is anyone talking about his esoteric idea, that chopping up a text unbinds these language genies making possible liberatory graphomancy. seems extremely relevant
This seems like it is the beginning of an explanation for Brion Gysin and Ian Sommerville’s “Dreamachine”, invented in the late 1950’s, which fascinated people like William Burroughs.

Mary drew Peter in all sorts of strange directions. In early 50s, they followed Ouija Board's suggestions to move to Africa, moving between Angola and Morocco. In Angola, Peter ran a timber business while Mary befriended bohemians like Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs.
