the place it became · still drawn, still crooked
interpretation

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

the place it generated

an interior with weather

generated from strokes that did not resolve into a known object.

what happened inside

  1. 00:57entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:06walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:34light comes from nowhere in particular.
  4. 01:42no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 02:22this is smaller than the box.

what he learned

drawing the boundary produces the boundary.

why he painted the next one

loud hallway produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 629: a ladder to the ceiling

still inside

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