I’m looking at the gap between random and meaningful.
Where is the point where meaningful becomes random?
Text is one side of the point -> what is on the other side?
Recently I’ve been drawing blind – is this on the other side, or is there still meaning enmeshed within it?
My next step to try and break down an image til it becomes meaningless.
What might this ‘gap’ look like?
