interpretation

the system read as a horizon line.

the place it generated

a horizon line

generated from the painting. it is bounded. the boundary is further away than before.

what happened inside

  1. 00:54entered a horizon line.
  2. 01:05walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:31light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 01:51same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

the edge of everything produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 133: a road that leaves

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
