Vera Molnar

As Vera Molnar said, "randomness... will show you billions of possibilities, which you, with your limited imagination, couldn't have thought of. So it enriches the senses. Therefore randomness has a lot of importance to me, but not in the way of dadaism. Its not to say anything can be art. On the contrary, it helps me to better find what I like. Because when you work with intuition, you do ten, twelve, fourteen tests. At the twentieth, you're tired and stop. With computers, you can first open the entire spectrum, and say, 'this is the part that interests me, and not the rest'. So you place the focus, and develop all possibilities within. Afterward, you'll find the interesting part is over here. So you get closer. Its a paradox, but the people who argued at the beginning that using computers dehumanises art, the opposite is true. Because it's thanks to all this technology that we can get very close to what we have imagined, that we might not have found otherwise.” (See interview here.)
