So to create my poem, I used a promotional article from sun studios. This way I figured it would be slightly photography related. I then used google image search to the nouns in the poem. However I used a random number generator to generate a number between 1 and 100.. I then went to the appropriate image that matched this number in the image search and used that photo in my collage.
This kept with the "random" and "chance" theme of Dada. The randomness was also detailed with the ambiguous nature of some of the words. Things like, when searching SLR it came up with a plethora of photos of a Mercedes SLR, when in the article the acronym refers to a single lense reflex camera.
There was also an element of not so randomness when the word digital was searched and the number 74 was generated, a Canon camera was the image selected amongst all of the possible images for the word digital.
