Random Elements are Beautiful

Personally, I love the aspect of random elements in the universe.  Much Mozart's Musikalisches Würfelspiel, an algorithm that created music by rearranging pieces of his symphonies, life has random algorithms everywhere.  In Arizona, monsoon season tends to occur during late summer.  Heavy rains, winds, and lightning flood through the sky.  The erratic pattern of lightning is what really captures my attention, as well as many other people in the world.  There are many lightning bolt pictures online, and I guarantee that no two of them are the same.  There are also random artistic elements in casinos as well.  The way in which the reels align, the noises, colors, and odds.  There is something magical about casinos (including the rate at which your money disappears).  Probability and chance are games I tend to enjoy, whether it is gambling or just for fun.  I cannot explain why I am drawn to percentages, but the way it captures my attention is why I believe random elements are artistic.  Many people would disagree, saying that if it is not intended than it cannot be art.  I however believe that it is when you don’t expect anything that the most beautiful works of art come forth.  This belief holds true to my relationship with my girlfriend, an unexpected and welcome surprise thrown my way over a year ago.  No planned art piece has captivated me as much as our first encounter.  The art of love is discussed regularly, no one can say that every case isn’t at least a little random.
