Aleatoric Art A Separate Art Movement


An art born of natural causes that dares to leave some things purely to chance, Aleatoric art builds upon the natural to produce supernaturally gorgeous images.


INTRO


AleatoricArt is an online magazine and gallery of artists who allow the laws of physics to guide their creative vision, seeking out art born of natural causes and daring to leave some things purely to chance. By developing a deeper understanding of the forces that have governed our universe since the beginning of time, these courageous innovators have discovered unique ways of collaborating with nature to produce some of the most beautiful and compelling images in contemporary art.


The History of Aleatoric Art


There is a tradition of Japanese and Chinese artists employing aleatoric methods, many influenced by Taoism and Zen Buddhism. In the west, precedents can be found among artists of ancient Greece, and later among artists of the Italian Renaissance. Aleatory was also employed by numerous twentieth century avant-garde artists. Followers of the Dada and Surrealism produced numerous examples. Jean Arp (French, 1887-1966) made collages by dropping small pieces of paper onto a larger piece and discovered in those doodles the ghosts of repressed imaginations. Similarly, Tristan Tzara (Rumanian, 1896-1963) created poetry by selecting sentences from newspapers entirely by chance.


Eyes in | 28 The Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists: MAMA


Twenty-three talented individuals representing a variety of genres have gathered to form a collective known as MAMA, the Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists, as a nod to the DADAists of the early twentieth century who made liberal use of accidental methods when composing great works of art. The AleatoricArt gallery was created in 2008 to entertain and educate art lovers about the element of chance in fine art history and to inspire students and emerging artists to discover and enjoy the same freedom from the confines of accepted techniques as did their Dadaist predecessors. The group is working together on ways to promote the exchange of new ideas and processes which utilize today’s materials and technology combined with ancient aleatoric methods to perpetuate the legacy of chance.
