Quantum Aleatoric auto-bio-art-ist…ism?

Aleatoric means to involve the element of chance. But Jorge Rojas wasn’t content to simply subject his art to chance, he exposed himself to it. In a recent Miami Gallery exhibit Rojas melded quantum theory with aleatoric art by building himself into a 14‘ x 14’ cardboard box and making the observers of his art the unpredictable third element that altered the outcome of his explorations into cause and effect. Being the effected subject of his own art 24/7 had presented certain challenges that would be of little concern to ordinary art, which, by the way he does as well.

Yes Jorge Rojas is no stranger to traditional mediums such as sink strainers, dictionaries, various anatomical charts and sandpaper. Okay, maybe not traditional, but with an aleatoric artist who uses himself as his medium you’ll have to bend all the rules a bit…okay, a lot.
