- An artwork that involves chance
The “Squares arranged according to the laws of chance” is a collage which is resolutely nonreferential created by Arp in 1916.The first thing need to do to create this collage is tearing blue paper into pieces.And then prepare a piece of large white paper on the ground.Then let torn blue pieces fall to the white paper, and paste each scrap where it happened to land.Finally the collage is completed.
- Exquisite corpse technique and interactive computer programs
Exquisite corpse in which collaborators adds to a composition in sequence or are allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.Thus it is impossible to foresee the overall result of compositions created by different people.This technique is used to avoid the bias in the relationship of elements in the compound chance-event.As for interactive computer programs, I think this technique can also be adopted to encourage randomness to increase more possibilities while computer programs are still interactive.When conducting interactive computer programs, each participant programmes independently of each other, and the results which is accumulated by four parts can be freed of personal bias.
- Art should reflect the wider cultural environment of the time it is produced
To some extent, art is not only created by artists, but also by the wider cultural environment of the time it is produced.Therefore,art inevitably reflect the wider cultural environment in its time.For example, the growing understanding of chance in mathematical field contributes to the development in the use of chance in painting.Statistical theories in mathematical physics created in 1860, resulted in a reformulation of concept of the workings of nature,thus chance-imagery had more space to grow up.A series of events in physics also result in that chance became an underlying principle of world -view.Then artists may be inspired to come up with new ideas of chance images,which lead chance images to develop further.
- My methodology to produce a truly random number
Step1:Throw dices on after the other for three times to get three numbers
Step2:Using a card with circular series of numbers and make the pointer spin three times to get three numbers
Step3:on the Internet find the longitude and latitude of the location whose postcode is composed of the six numbers of step1and2
