Randomness 

E

For this I look at art by Christopher Hanusa. Christopher Hanusa is not an artist, but a mathematician. He makes computational art using math and brings it to life with 3D printing. He first makes a model himself and uses computation to make variations. These variations might not be truly random due to the set parameters, but they do occur at random intervals. Personally, I like that although these forms are technically produced with sophisticated tech, he likes fun colors, and this has become one of his signatures. He doesn’t just use randomness because he knows how, but believes it says something beautiful about the nature of life, uniqueness, and chance. Although each is generated with random factors, he goes through many different variations and chooses his favorites. This interaction became an important fingerprint of the artist’s likes and esthetic ideas. I am very curious to know  if his other non-chosen models are just as  “perfect”.
