Focus here: application of the paint itself

He introduces latex. He uses house paint to create fine art
It looks random - but it is not random.
Because he is controlling which direction it goes
He chooses where to move
He likes being immersed in the entire painting bc it made him feel like he was part of that painting
He chooses colors and how much to put it in. mix between deliberate choice and design
The idea: it give him access to his subconscious but he controls the overall structure
Opened up this idea of randomist and you can use anything to create art
Feel like you are instead it
Access to subconscious but he controls entire structure. He says there is no accident. He opened up idea of putting randomness and also the idea what constitutes to what can be considered art.

By: Krzysztof Wodiczko

Best example of art freedom
Made in conjunction with homeless people in NY
This is art as social action. No complaining. He has seen the problem and is doing he something.
There is a shopping cart bottom of it works like a cart. Top stretches out and becomes sleeping place
The nose of it looks like a cone. Reminds us of a rocket bomb. It folds down and can be sink
Becomes fantastic thing for homeless people to have a home of their own
Reaction to it - no attention. Try not to look at it. The women in the trench coat.
