Ramon
Llull
builds
a
whole
world
explanation
system
upon
permutations
of
divine
categories
.
Peter
Cariani
observes
that
permutation
is
the
most
common
way
to
create
novel
things
,
ideas
or
artefacts
;
but
only
_very_
rarely
will
categorically
new
things
emerge
that
extend
the
alphabet
of
available
primitives
to
permute
.

In
our
semester
course
we
want
to
look
at
these
phenomena
from
our
(
computational
)
artistic
practice
:
How
do
we
bring
together
unforeseen
things
in
our
imagination
?
