We all have it as a part of our evolutionary equipment. Patterns, expectations, assumptions, biased thoughts; even precognition when step outside the scientific field. Trying to look at the world without being overwhelmed by the gained knowledge is a tough experiment, but seems to be necessary while exploring creative power. As a (creative) thinker you must take for granted that what you see is not certain. As for me I do not take anything for certain and it has always been that way since I recall (which didn’t seem to be advantage at all, but…). Beau Lotto tries to find out what is really out there.

On randomness, part 2
Thursday, November 5th, 2009What does randomness look like? Random walk project by Daniel A.Becker explores the notion of randomness. It consists of 14 double-sided A2 posters contained in a transparent plastic sleeve. Ten sheets explain the phenomena of randomness in mathematics and physics – four focus on all-day randomness and the quality of pseudo random number generators. Without title or specific order the sleeve contains the folded sheets at random like a pack of cards. It has no thematic order, unlike the playing cards in a pack. The layouts of the poster backs are visually influenced by randomness. Each reverse side is unique as is the reverse of the same topic in different sets. Visualizations and random layouts are made with the program “proce55ing”.
Claude Lévi-Strauss died
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009It has to be mentioned about. Claude Lévi-Strauss, the French anthropologist whose revolutionary studies of what was once called “primitive man” transformed Western understanding of the nature of culture, custom and civilization, has died at 100. I was writing about his 100th birthday a year back on this blog. Undoubtedly, he was one of the greatest minds of the 20th century!
