Abstract
ABSTRACT Contemporary artists utilise a variety of methods which allow unpredictable forces, such as randomness, chance, chaos, the subconscious, participation, and others, to influence their creative process. These sources of unpredictability are situated against the artist’s control in the creative process. We developed a system of control-limiting strategies that enable the simultaneous study of different methods with similar sources of unpredictability. Through examples – including works by other artists and works by one of the authors – we introduce Internal, External, Relational/Interactive and Mechanical strategies. We analyse the way control is limited in the creative process and draw conclusions on how this affects the artwork. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Visual Art Practice (JVAP) is a forum of debate and inquiry for research in art. JVAP is concerned with visual art practice including the social, economic, political and cultural frames within which the formal concerns of art and visual art practice are located. The journal is concerned with research engaged in these disciplines, and with the contested ideas of knowledge formed through that research. JVAP welcomes submissions that explore new theories of research and practice and work on the practical and educational impact of visual arts research. JVAP recognises the diversity of research in art and visual arts, and as such, we encourage contributions from scholarly and pure research, as well as developmental, applied and pedagogical research. In addition to established scholars, we welcome and are supportive of submissions from new contributors including doctoral researchers. We seek contributions engaged with, but not limited to, these themes: -Art, visual art and research into practitioners'' methods and methodologies -Art , visual art, big data, technology, and social change -Art, visual art, and urban planning -Art, visual art, ethics and the public sphere -Art, visual art, representations and translation -Art, visual art, and philosophy -Art, visual art, methods, histories and beliefs -Art, visual art, neuroscience and the social brain -Art, visual art, and economics -Art, visual art, politics and power -Art, visual art, vision and visuality -Art, visual art, and social practice -Art, visual art, and the methodology of arts based research
