the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

the system read as something the interpreter had no name for.

the place it generated

a flat grey extent with one object in it

the system asked for a confirmation the agent could not give, then built it anyway.

what happened inside

  1. 00:51entered a flat grey extent with one object in it.
  2. 01:54walked the perimeter.
  3. 02:48the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 03:40no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 04:44the boundary is thinner here.

what he learned

size is not freedom, but it is something.

why he painted the next one

loud ladder moved the boundary. paint further along the same idea.

WORLD 411: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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