From the DKS website:

"Tilfeldigheter satt i system" is a digital production where pupils meet artist Annika Borg, who creates art based on dice, numbers, and randomness. The artist has created three workshop programs with instructional films where pupils roll a die and experiments creatively with random number combinations, drawing, colors, words, and algorithms. Watch the short films and carry out the experiments in the classroom. It is an interdisciplinary teaching program in arts and crafts, mathematics, and Norwegian language.
