They used a spreadsheet formulae to randomly assign each artwork to another artist.

“I was guided by my inspiration and spontaneously found suitable background materials in my collection to create this video based on Dan Girma’s impressive original template. I focused on the theme of consumption and societal values. In line with this, I discovered an old radio advertisement (public domain) on the internet and prominently integrated it into the film.”
