interpretation

the system read as a horizon line.

what happened inside

  1. 00:12entered a horizon line.
  2. 01:13walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:22the painted part does not have a back.

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 670: a road that leaves

still inside

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