As I said in yesterday’s blog I planned to use the WordPress random slideshow to experiment with the idea of finding a way to show these images in a slideshow that displays them in an ever changing and arbitrary sequence. I have added some word fragments too. While I’ve watched the preview the images are not random which is annoying but it may be that only kicks in after being published. I will see.
The plan would be be:
Context – to include something along the lines of “Every time someone watches this collection of images it is different. It only exists online and comes to ‘life’ when you or someone else finds this page and watches it or leaves the page open. I do want to add music and a voice track although how I would go about doing that randomly is anyone’s guess.
Lastly, before I publish and see if this random generator actually is random, I tend to listen to specific music when I’m working and in the absence of the piano I want to add, I have been listening to Steve Reich Phases, A NonSuch Retrospective.

Mmmm… after publishing it seems the WordPress random facility is not random. So I must find out how to do that. Seeing it has been useful though. So now, I wonder if it’s even possible! I guess it must be though. – Added at a later date: Actually, each time I come back after a period of time it seems the images are random. I need to add the phrases below and see if I can find another way to show this randomly online in a bigger format.
Adding fragments of words I’ve seen or thought of here:
And then I was like
