Chance Aesthtic - Research
After speaking to elliot who questioned wether I could push this idea of an online exhibition further I began to think about other thoerys which had been the back bone of fluxus. One of these was chance a charcteristic of the dada movement and made accible to Fluxus through John Cage. The idea of chance questions the need for an artist is removes all ego. This I thought was an intresting concept to explore as what happens when you give full autonomy over to chance. In this case through the media of the internet this lead more in depth research of chance within the intertnet. What I found was booming use of generative code within design.

Blank Architects
A graphic design firm created a visual identity for blank architects from generative coding pieces all very well informed from the firms process.
'Blank is a group of Russian architects located in Moscow that needed a new identity and website. The logotype consists of an international and timeless typography and an icon that is both modern and classic. The icon is an abstract representation of two architectural expressions; One expressive, curved, organic (B), and the other more straight, solid and functional (A). We use it as an emblem, a signature to reinforce the human approach of Blank. The idea of the identity was to focus on the name Blank as the idea of perfection, as in the quote by Samuel Beckett: 'At the end of the day, my last work will be a Blank piece of paper'. As a result, we created a minimalist identity and website that is functional and clear, combined with more progressive and creative ideas. The generative design were developed with the purpose of emphasising key aspects of Blank's architectural and creative approach, helping them attract new projects not only by references and finished output, but also by their attitude and principles towards their discipline. Each composition reacts to the character count of a given quote, and has been developed for use in both print, web and installation context.'

Generative Coding
A new phrase of generative coding within product design could revolutionise the way we design. This is the handing over of creativity to the machine.

What is chance?
Chance can be seen as a liberating source of unforeseen possibilities or a threatening force that could undermine human self sufficiency and moral self determination.
