Casey Reas’ presentation changed my view of art. I used to think art had to be orderly and follow strict rules. But Reas showed me, through various examples and works that chaos and randomness can be beautiful too. In a world where everything seems structured, whether in music industry, gaming industries etc, adding a bit of randomness to art brings a special kind of beauty. It’s like finding magic in unexpected places.
I liked how Casey Reas said that randomness and chance can be used as a jumping-off point for art, as I believe that such randomness can be used as a catalyst for sparking our imaginations and used for brainstorming new and innovative ideas. As a musician myself, now that I think about it, when I play around with different chords and vocals, I start to explore new ways of singing and playing music. So through this presentation, I see imperfections as part of the charm, and I’m more open to embracing the unpredictable side of creativity.
