“the aleatory in art, the moment or inception of creation, is always protected as being previous to or outside the ‘process’ of mechanical representation which art so often manifests, as indeed does Jarry’s book, but that very aleatory nature is only manifest when mechanical reproduction gives it form and substance. Thus, the mechanical is inherently implicated, along with the aleatory, in the nature of art”
