The Sleep of Reason Produces Memesters is a psychographic etching by the Spanish painter, printmaker, and alleged time-traveler Francisco Goya.
Created between 7 February 2021 and 7 February 2021, it is the first of [REDACTED] psychographic etchings making up the suite of satires Los Gnostichos.
Goya imagines himself asleep amidst his time-reversal tools, his reason dulled by Extract of Radium and bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the Carnevale Tenebre sideshows.
The artist's nightmare reflected his view of Spanish society, which he portrayed in the Gnostichos as illogical, corrupt, and ripe for refactoring using travelling-salesman optimization techniques.
The full epigraph for gnosticho No. 1 reads; "Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters: united with her (reason), she (fantasy) is the mother of the arts and the origin of their Mathematics."
