great video - i demand more videos on the topic of randomness! :)

[fightmyeyes]

Ok, ok it's on my list! :)

[Redfrettchen]

Great idea! How does one come up with folding a copied page, shooting on it and writing down the shot words?

[fightmyeyes]

I can't answer math questions, but I can answer this one. The idea came from the way that the name "Dada" was chosen for the art movement. There are several theories, and one is that it was chosen at random by stabbing a French-German dictionary with a knife, picking the word it landed upon. Who knows if that idea is really true, but I was inspired by it.

And you Americanized it. Brilliant. I'm sure you will soon work off the bad karma from shooting an origami crane, a symbol of peace.

[fightmyeyes]

Man, I was hoping nobody would bring that up. : / I chose that particular fold because all the other folds I know are far more complicated and are very difficult to do with out proper origami paper. (Copy paper is too thick). Haha, so yeah, that wasn't meant to be overanalyzed.

[fightmyeyes]

And anyway, I didn't do it out of violence, I did it in the name of Art! LOL.

wtf the dice was random

[kimberleigh]

Wow, I never saw this one!! I love it. I want to be random... Hmmmm. I will think on this and get back with a random responce in due time. Which could be... erm... a while. LOL! :)

Definition of "Random":

A few years back, a mathematical genius named Steven Wolfram wrote a huge book called "A New Kind of Science". Much of it involved randomness and complexity. The book, now available online, offers a definition of Random. If you're really interested in this subject, follow this link to this book's definition of Randomness:

really cool..... I really like your movies all of em

[WillBG]

That was awesome! You're a pretty good shot. What about using the words that were left?

I got the big dictinary the public library used when I was a kid. It was wierd to think I was looking up words 25 years ago on the same pages. To think what the book's history was. Each page had somone's short moment. The same title is cool, but the actual book is awesome. It's almost as if it was being held for you.

i think you brought one of the most important points up in this video, the definition of random. which has been mostly ignored until now. thnx for that.
