To clarify what I wrote; In my view of the the meaning of "intentional unintentionality" would have a different meaning. I would call it "unintentional intentionality" meaning that It may come from a different part of my being's neglected or forgotten aesthetic experience from the past, not an error.

What i'm trying to say about how i work is that, if it does not come serendipitously, it does not have what looking for in my work. It becomes just another dead expression .

I'll second William's rephrasing here and just add that in my language it would only be an unintentional error if you only noticed it after making your work public. But like you just added - if you know while making it that something serendipitous or a happy accident occurred, you make the choice of leaving it in and that's intentional action right there. Just think of Pollock or an early Feldman composition and you can grasp the meaning of this so to speak "intentional unintentionality"
