Random feels familiar, 2017

Wagga Wagga Art Gallery
A computer can't actually behave randomly.  Instead, programmers invent algorithms so that a computer appears to behave randomly insofar its patterns of behavior appear non-sensical.  The algorithm is a success when the user can't trace the pattern. 
 
Each of the paintings, prints and programs in this exhibition use pseudo-random procedures as a way to create mystery and visual surprise.  Using fragments of the artist’s digital life drawings, these works are remixed and presented as new pseudo-random compositions.
