Rough ideas for non-interventionist art creation:
Make style books for people to choose from - that have fixed rules as to how each
example sheet was created (only to be broken by the artist - not the helper).
Choose deliberately - or at random (flick through - hit a switch to stop - that
is the system to follow).
Make rules to be selected at random - e.g. 1= red 2= blue 3= orange 4=black
5=yellow 6=white - get the person to throw a die to roll and select - if they
can't deliberately. This is their own pure luck.
Time art creation.
Use computer art package FX such as blurring, glare and so on using the same
method - or from a flick book.
