The concept is based on chance in an artistic tradition of John Cage. I am very fond of his conception of art and compostion. His ideas refer to the I Ging and Eastern philosophy, while my work is inspired by the concepts of quantum physics and the concept of probability – no contradiction anyway.
In English the term “chance” has a positive tone: “to get a chance”, an opportunity. In German it sounds more pessimistic – “Zufall”: something falls upon you, possibly ending in an accident.
I prefer the term “coincidence”. In our everyday life we experience strange coincidences that give our life a new turn until the whole life is formed this way. And in physics researchers are looking for the nature of coincidence that form the uncertainties of the universe we live in.
