Tendencies' Lack / Lucia Simon Medina (ES\AT)
The human cognitive architecture is predisposed to search for patterns, meaning that it expects cause-effect explanations, and finds their absence unsatisfactory. The patterns that we consciously or unconsciously tend to repeat are related to personal comfort and processes of discrimination. At a time when human behavior seems to be subject to the scrutiny of the correlations established in the digital realm, it is pertinent to ask what is incomputable. Chance, for example. Computers are capable of generating pseudo-random series, but not truly random ones. These drawings explore the ideas that mathematicians and quantum physicists use to argue the existence of randomness.
This exhibition was created as part of a PhD study.
