NOISE IN THE WORKSPACE

  • A new painting experiment, a painting series on the subject of statistical randomness in the process(es) of artistic production;
  • Introducing new ways, methods, of generating random sequences/values, using devices such as dice for randomness;
  • Is a large-scale, interdisciplinary art-research project, like the many others of its kind that came before it;
  • These are only the outlines for the first two series of interdisciplinary art-research; there will be an indefinite number of series;
  • The Methodology itself is Randomized; hence, the neeed for a new project investigating “NOISE IN THE WORKSPACE”;
  • The research is already extremely advanced; I may have come up with a new mathematical proof that could change the face of interruption science;
  • Everything is being logged, documented, and posted freely online.
