Bad Art Assignment

The assignment was to make bad art. I asked my wife to walk around with my phone. From my watch, I took 21 pictures on the phone. Then I asked her to write down 9 numbers from 1 to 21, and those were the pictures I picked. I fed the pictures into Claude AI and asked it to arrange them randomly, converting some to black and white and others to negatives. Then I tore up what it made, and then stapled the pictures randomly to another print of the combined picture. Then I did the black lines. My wife says I failed. I hope so. A little homage to John Cage for the chance operations and to Léger for the black outlines.
