Visualizing randomness

What does randomness look like?

RANDOM WALK asks this question and presents experiments in mathematics and physics, showing the mysterious interaction of chaos and order in randomness.

The project RANDOM WALK simulates randomness in visualizations, which are easy to understand. In this way, it delivers insight into a phenomenon, which has so far remained unexplained.

The project is the result of the very interesting thesis work of Daniel Becker at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz, Germany.
