So the idea was to take the top elements of the survey and turn them into a painting. The color and shape where to influence the base of the work, and the music and animals to influence subconscious elements in to the work. We play the music of the winning band in the background while working on the piece to influence the outcome. The parameter was to complete the piece within 10 minutes, to keep with the theme of uncontrollable random samples. This was oddly freeing and made for a new and unique experience. Quite frankly, the responses where different than I expected (other than animals). It is interesting to see what people at large are more preferable too, other than our personal interests. I hope to use this method in the future to a more modified system to help create better works in the future.
