----> crossed leading pairs

Here we add additional constraints that limit the progression of image/sound combinations. The only “pure” chance encounter takes place in the first pair. Subsequent iterations are limited by a fixed pattern of resonances or influences, described by the arrows in the diagram. The initial “leading” pair generates new image/sound pairings. The final pair bears the trace of previous iterations and may be a “differed” version of the first

series one

----> randomized pairings

Chance intersections between unsynchronized images and sounds. Rules of the game: Zak and John each upload one image or one sound per day in alternation, without knowing what the other person's post will be. John's first image (Ji1) is then displayed with Zak's first sound (Zs1), and Zak's first image (Zi1) is displayed with John's first sound (Js1). Some echoes or resonances occur across the series, but in an unprogrammed way. Progression follows an ABBA rhyme scheme.
