To produce randomness, most computer systems — including modern cryptographic protocols and generative art — make use of pseudo-random number generators. These are designed to generate sequences of numbers that appear random over large periods, but in reality they are driven by deterministic and predictable arithmetic. In contrast, quantum randomness arises from the inherent uncertainty in quantum mechanics, particularly from phenomena like superposition and measurement collapse.

Introducing re-frame: a generative artwork that turns computational space into a metaphysical environment by recombining metadata of a digital archive database

Methods and concepts behind 'Procedural Drawings', a series of computer-generated artworks consisting of visual patterns, ritual heuristics and self computational space.

Recursion, strange loops and the nature of abstractions. Examining self referential ontologies through contemporary visual approaches

Changing the writing experience using aleatoric tools, deterministic systems and large language models.

The following text has been presented as a lecture performace at IMPACT23 - Ecologies of Attention Symposium, Pact Zollverein (Essen, D) in 2023. It is also an edited and extended transcription of a previous talk called Songlines, presented online at Trafó House of Contemporary Arts as part of (H)earring Series #19 in 2021 April 20. Revised & edited in June, 2023
