Chance in Art and the indeterminacy aesthetic:https://art-newzealand.com/21-chance/ The historian Mommsen estimated that chance accounts for athird of all historical effects. Strindberg wrote a manifesto on its role in art. For the Surrealists it was a means of transcending the barriers of causality and conscious volition. Richter adopted it as a protest against the rigidity of straight line thinking. Duchamp categorised some of his works as 'canned chance'. Arp revered the law of chance as the highest and deepest of laws; as did the great physicist Heisenberg, who, in 1927, sanctified chance ina mathematical formulation.
