what happened inside

  1. 00:35entered shallow water.
  2. 01:35touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:17found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:23no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 04:09a room. again a room.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 034: half-erased the observer

still inside

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