The project explores that idea that working with a certain amount of unexpectedness and unknown often leads to accidental creativity. Finding this unexpectedness or encouraging it to happen and then figuring out how to work, use and manage it to create something with is a process I think a lot of creative projects follow and rely on. 

Through the year, I did a lot of experiments trying to make this process really visible. These experiments included forcing people to make typos with a broken keyboard, making glitch art and using random scribbles to make a specific drawing from.

I also explored a lot of other people’s work that I thought used this same process.
