"Randomness is meant to be touched" is a proposal: to meet eye to eye, skin to skin, and form a personal relationship to an abstract concept. Just like out measurement of particles makes properties surface that were undecided before, my using the branch turned it into an object. Covered in conductive paint, drilled and presented with an intended use, my perception became a property of it.

The branch is displayed on the wall, mounted with reinforced steel that is usually used for concrete construction work. Coming from the Arduino inside the branch, a low voltage is sent though its surface and though the skin of every person touching it. The information about the touch lives on inside the branch. 

// a found object humanized
// the capacity for chance
// an algorithm against causality
// a texture
// a sensation to go with abstraction
// a branch
// you can touch it
