‘Reality is not always probable’ is constructed from tens of thousands of dice and is generated, line by line, by manually emulating the rules of a computer binary program. Troika arrive at these logically-derived compositions by setting initial conditions or frameworks and then introduce an unpredictable element, here an evolutionary algorithm, from which the unexpected emerges.
