In: [[Generative Art 2007]]. <br /> <br /> == DOI ==<br /> <br /> == Abstract ==<br /> Dice throwing and similar techniques are valuable tools for moving the creative<br /> process out of a rut or for suggesting previously overlooked directions. Random<br /> number generators are often used in generative processes to produce variety.<br /> Yet randomness and complexity have different meanings to different communities.<br /> Sometimes the term “random” is used to mean “of high complexity”, sometimes “of<br /> unrecognisable structure”. To discuss “unrecognisable” in a concrete manner we<br /> must discuss human perception and cognition, subjects which aren’t well understood.<br /> Meanwhile, highly complex artifacts can emerge from simple rules, adding to the<br /> confusion. Informal experiential notions of randomness and complexity differ in<br /> important ways from formal definitions derived from Information Science. These<br /> approaches are contrasted in an attempt to arrive at a shared model of complexity.<br /> While randomness can be used as a creative trigger, its use in generative processes<br /> can impede the progress towards a desired solution. Therefore it is important to<br /> understand what a random number generator is providing. Since generative<br /> processes encode considerable structure and complexity into artifacts, we show that<br /> surprising variety can emerge without the need of random number generators.<br /> Complexity, surprise and variety are all possible without randomness.<br /> <br /> == Extended Abstract ==<br /> <br /> == Bibtex == <br /> <br /> == Used References ==<br /> [1] Oblique Strategies. http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/<br /> <br /> [2] Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chance_music<br /> <br /> [3] University of Vienna. http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Mozart/dice/<br /> <br /> [4] NAC/CAN. http://www.nac-cna.ca/en/nacnews/viewnews.cfm?ID=1113<br /> <br /> [5] Cage, John. &quot;Indeterminacy&quot;, in his Silence: Lectures and Writings, 35–40.<br /> Middletown, Conn.
