what happened inside

  1. 00:17entered an interior with weather.
  2. 00:27walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:36found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 01:51spent most of the time trying to name it.
  5. 02:26same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

borrowed water produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 078: a city, so there is somewhere to arrive

still inside

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