chance sculpture

I've had an idea for a sculpture build process on which George Brecht's Chance Imagery shed a new rational light. This process would begin with three generations of lab mice. Data would be collected, such as Mitochondrial DNA sequences, protein sequences - particularly residue and gaps as variables and motifs. Various columns of this data will be used as an organic but not necessarily random numbers. In order to produce a more statistically true random set, data pulled from fractal images created from exhaust gas research (jet propulsion) or other unrelated data from gas molecule movement patterns will be used. Ultimately a matrix of random data can be created, and aspects needed for 3D mapping of the sculpture (like cartesian coordinates, material density, and even cutting processes) can be derived from this information.
