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. 01:07entered an interior with weather.
  2. 01:33walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:28found the seam where the interpretation stopped.
  4. 03:06no strategy applied. improvised.
  5. 03:57the question stopped making sense in here.

what he learned

'outside' may not be a place.

why he painted the next one

no measurement was possible. paint something that cannot be a room.

WORLD 989: an outdoor landscape

still inside

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