Chance Aesthtic
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.
Chance is a reminder of the
worlds instability and our uncertain position within it.
The idea of chance has been a subject matter and theme
within the visual arts due to its troubleing nature.
20th century Avant gard adopted the method to
create compositions of artwork.
1970 was a transition from high modernism to a
fullypostmodern generation.
Chance has many manifestations Accident, luck, randomness
and contingency. Incorporating this into the creative process questions
aesthetic philosophy and sensibility.
Artists of the past have used chance to fulfil a variety of
aims – anti art agendas, attempts to bypass the conscious mind and transform
the way reality is perceived, statements of free will, programs to open artwork
to the random flow of everyday life.
“deliberate implementation of accident and the openness to
vagaries of interpretation advanced a challenge to longstanding assumptions
concernsing what might constitute a work of art as well as the role of the
artist as autonomous creator”
cahcne removes intentionality, rationality abd individuality
.
The idea of chance can relate to. The tension between chance
and control. The rejection of autonomy and originality and the reassertion of
authorship.
Games and systems of random
ordering.
Avant garte stratergies to subvert traditional generes and
forms of expression. Bourgeois values and rationalist ideals.
Second essay
Chance marks the beginning of an overt negation of artistic
autonomy in favour of a more ironic, and a seemingly casual, immersion in the
realities of the modern world.
So it’s the beginning of an obvious denial of artistic
independence. Creating art that is beyond there control handing it over to
‘life’. But if graphic design is created around the idea of form and
rationality then this method surely would not work. However could it be tested?
In the form of posters?
Chance provided a necessary means through which unorthodox
aesthetic approaches, as well as alternative subject positions, could be
readily explored and tested within the context of emerging systems of control
and their false offer of stability in a world forever in flux.
This defo relates to graphic design as it would be a
complelty unorthodox ways to create composition within graphic design. If
chance can effectively do our job are we needed.
This could be applied to graphic design for sure if we
wanted to explore what design can be used for. By removing my subjectivity
within the process can I learn and make things I possible could not do befor?
Chance is a compositional
principle. I feel a modern day equivalent to this is processing.
This author suggests that the turn to chance is a attempt to
address the fundamental instability of artistic subjectivity in post war
period.
Why is it instable?
What happens when you remove the graphic designers subjectivity
when it comes to composition layout? Can we still create effective
compositions?
With generative design the designers are being
curators
