In the history of art there is the concept of automatic writing. It is a kind of scribbling that occurs without reflecting on the rotating movements of the hand, e.g. when talking on the phone.

The Franco-Belgian poet Henri Michaux also resorted to the visual arts when he reached a point in his poetry where he felt he had used words to the limits of their ability.
