19. "Book
of Mutations"
It is a book
made out of 47 drawings,
27 pages of texts
and 13 blank pages.
They are all laser
printed on transparencies and are neither bound nor numbered. They
do not have a determinate order.
They were made
by choosing different percentages of occupancy of the page randomly.
A pattern of 300 points was drawn on each page. The size and place
of the dots was chosen, as well as that of the letters/syllables,
using the random-numbers-tables
as the data for the following algorithm.
For the
size of the dots
the algorithm was:
|
from
|
00
to 09 : 0.1" |
from
|
50
to 59 : 0.6" |
|
10
to 19 : 0.2" |
|
60
to 69 : 0.7" |
|
20
to 29 : 0.3" |
|
70
to 79 : 0.8" |
|
30
to 39 : 0.4" |
|
80
to 89 : 0.9" |
|
40
to 49 : 0.5" |
|
90
to 99 : 1" |
For the choice
of the letters/syllables,
the algorithm was:
