Comment:
Full title is "Flung at Random: Between the Profusion of Matter and of the Stars" which was inspired by an Andrew Malraux quote and on fractals which I admit knowing very little about. Fractals have some element of randomness and beauty to them as they spiral around themselves (or maybe some other dimension). I like the idea of randomness in art; I sometimes like the idea of shuffle and repeat on c.d. players. For randomness in the plastic arts you can look at certain works by Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, or Jasper Johns. Randomness in the music mix arena can be refreshingly unrestrained."Flung at Random" was posted as an mp3 mix on my blog (May 2006) and is an indie pop mix of free and legal downloads that were generated from my mp3 player completely at random.
Feedback:
interesting topic.
are shuffle mixes truly artistic or mere laziness? are shuffle mixes even random. ipods are notoriously patterned in shuffle mode. i am of the opinion that a random mix is only as good as the material available and unlikely to be as good as a well thought out and constructed mix, however i perhaps could be convinced otherwise.

This was just an experiment (I'm not a lazy person at all). I guess I should have titled it "Harmonic Happenstance" because as you correctly said, this probably wouldn't work so well if the materials were bad. I should say, however, that the songs were selected and therefore this isn't really complete randomness. You could compare it to Jackson Pollock's "splatter" paintings which he called "chance". The painter actually picked the color and therefore the process wasn't totally random. The way the drips landed on the canvas were, in fact, random in the sense that after he released the media into the air it was no longer in his hands.
