Step 1: Generate a random number; this will represent a measurement of time in seconds.

  • According to the weather app, the sunset on January 21, 2019 will occur at 8:05 pm. The sunrise on January 22, 2019 will occur at 6:04 am. The difference between these two times (in minutes) is 599 minutes.
  • 5 + 9 + 9 = 23 (seconds)

Step 2: Generate a random scene to be observed.

  • At dinner, I asked a group of my friends to send me a song recommendation. The first song recommendation I received was “Panama” by Sports.

Step 3: Combine the random measurement and the random situation to achieve a final specific result.

  • The following image is what appears if I pause the official “Panama” music video at 23 seconds:

Observations: 

  • The first thing I noticed in the frame was the bright flame in the bottom left corner. The bright orange flame contrasts the blue water and looks beautiful as it waves around. Flame is the concept I will expand upon for my future experiments.
