RANDOM IS NOT A DIRTY WORD, honestly.
I have made my own cards as a way to generate instructions for making art. The words on the cards are all random, from a random word generating website. Thought i do have conerns about how genuinely random this is, in fact im not sure if its random at all, and can randomness be faked anyway? When you flip a coin, sometimes you can judge by the pressure you hit it with what the outcome will be.. also computers and technology and things like that. they will have a programme to gerenate randomness, ipods on random shuffle arent random at all, they are programme to appear to be random, they have people working on new programmes and codes to make it more random, because apparently the real random wasnt random enough, sometimes two songs from the same band would come up, and you can't have that really can you. I got to this by altering ordinary playing cards. Playing cards- games based on chance. I erased the values of the playing cards, and have considered what i could do with them, i could put them back inside the package and back on the shelf of a shop, or replace any playing cards i see with a blank packet. But i dont really think that would echo the point, i think it would be very irritating. It could make a point about competition, games, gambling, unable to play cards/gamble/compete. BUT thats not what im really interested in.
