Hello, my name is Boyang REN. My undergraduate major was Electronic and technology science. I am now studying the master of design and my specific direction is interaction design. I hope to explore and observe more things in daily life in this course, as well as to minimize the expectations and predictions of the selection process.

Random Generator device:

In order to randomly find data and words, I plan to choose a word from a book written by Claire Bishop named Participation that I have been reading this holiday. I borrowed it from the UNSW Paddington library.

In order to get a word, it is easy to build a random data model using software -python to generate the page, row and column number. This process must be random and difficult to predict.

The book has 208 pages. The basic printing of each page is 40 lines, and a line usually has about 16 words. So the set of random numbers I get is XXX.XX.XX.

 

Initially, my idea was to make a random selection only once, and then follow-up exploration from that word in the book, however, during the process I found that there may be no data in this way. For example, as shown in the figure below.

Attempt 1

Result 1

Based on this, I made a selection of 13 sets of random numbers as the date I made this selection was January 13.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I cut 13 pieces of paper of the same size, wrote them on it, placed them on the table, shuffled the order, and finally my roommate randomly selected a piece of paper.

 

The final word is Behavior.
