Chance and Improbability
âChance and Improbabilityâ is an article featuring in a peer-reviewed online journal, Flusser Studies. It focuses on the role of the improbable or unexpected in relation to art practice and discusses the impact of these concepts, drawing on the work of philosopher VilĂ©m Flusser. Digital code and the visual representations it enables are now ubiquitous and the article attempts to excavate some of Flusserâs thinking in this respect and relate it to current practices in the field of art. The article discusses Flusserâs notion of the âtechnical imageâ and that oneâs role as an artist or cultural producer is to work against the tendency of machines to standardise and homogenise, to strive for the improbable as opposed to the probable. Drawing on the developing interest in Flusserâs work, it provides a resource for artist/scholars and features quotations from an unpublished Flusser manuscript, âBetween the probable and the impossibleâ, from the Flusser Archive at UniversitĂ€t der KĂŒnste in Berlin (previously at Kunsthochschule fĂŒr Medien, Cologne). The article also includes reflections on OâRileyâs bookwork, Accidental Journey
Argument from Chance
In the article, first I present the atheistic argument from pointless evil and the argument from chance. The essence of the argument from chance consists in the incompatibility of the existence of purposeless events and the existence of a God who planned the universe to the last detail. Second, I would like to show that there is a relation between the evidential argument from evil and the argument from chance. An analysis of the theistic argument from small probabilities is a helpful starting point for the presentation of how the two arguments are related
