Bulletism

Bulletism is an artistic process that involves shooting ink at a blank piece of paper.^[1] The result is a type of ink blot. The artist can then develop images based on what is seen. Salvador Dalí named this technique.^[2][3] Leonardo da Vinci, suggested that "just as one can hear any desired syllable in the sound of a bell, so one can see any desired figure in the shape formed by throwing a sponge with ink against the wall."^[4]
