Everything about Cubomania totally explained
Cubomania is a
surrealist method of making
collages in which a picture or
image is cut into squares and the squares are then reassembled without regard for the image, automatically "or at random," or a collage made using this method, a "rearrangement... suffic[ing] to create an entirely new work." It has been described as a "statistical method". Robert Hirsch has seemed to imply that this process can be done with
digital photography.
Penelope Rosemont and
Joseph Jablonski have suggested that cubomania, with other surrealist methods, can "subvert the enslaving 'message' of advertising and to free images from repressive contexts."
Cubomania was invented by the
Romanian surrealist
Gherasim Luca.
Using cubomania as a method for arranging soundscapes has been suggested.

This definition of cubomania is to be distinguished from the use of the word to mean "love of
cubes" (or, perhaps,
Rubik's Cube), or the joke about the possibility of its relating to compulsive dice playing in
Shomit Dutta's translation of
Aristophanes'
The Wasps, and other related uses.
