Artists Steffen Fielder and Jonas Loh explore user relationships with randomness in their “Known Unknowns” project. One user had the opportunity to interview the artists discovered “the designers explored the importance of randomness in our daily life but also investigated whether randomness actually exists or if it is just a lack of knowledge which makes things appear random to us.” To answer these thoughts, they utilized two different seeds to generate random numbers. The Random Event Harvester collects random numbers in an indicated environment and stores them with corresponding geographical information. The Cosmic Ray Detection Chamber uses the information from the Random Event Harvester to generate random values, which ultimately produce tiles with randomized extrusions extending from one face.
