Newer revision→The SI was formed at a meeting in the Italian village of
Cosio d'Arroscia on 28 July
1957 with the fusion of several extremely small artistic tendencies, which claimed to be
avant-gardistes:
Lettrist International, the
International movement for an imaginist Bauhaus (an off-shoot of
COBRA), and the
London Psychogeographical Association. The groups came together intending to reawaken the radical political potential of
surrealism. The group also later drew ideas from the left communist group
Socialisme ou Barbarie.
