The Paradox of Visual Randomness
Location: Zoom Application
When: Saturday, October 15th 4:30pm - 5:30pm CDT
Description:
We have a tendency to feel that we have a certain sense of what looks and feels truly random. But this sense often detects randomness where there is none, or fails to identify randomness where it exists. We'll dig into this interesting phenomenon and how it appears in our everyday lives. Then, we’ll apply this idea in an experiment by laying out a patchwork and talk about what we can do to create a sense of randomness in our sewing projects.
