I was in a geographical position,
the one associated whit a terrestrial location and a local history,
the one that takes the past of a locality as itrs object
The story, it would be framed narration,
that literary technique consisting of the insertion
of one or more stories within a main narrative t
It would be a weitten composition on some subject
putting into writting somethin that happend
bringing together various things
and placing them in order fo form something
And there was also musical composition,
the art of combining sounds and rhythms
to create a piece, another graphic representation
another system of writing
Although the Anglo-Saxon notation uses letters
unlike the Latin one that uses words.
In Addition to the place and its history
there was the everyday
that which refers to something daily
the habitual course of any given day in a person´s life.
And there was the weather,
than set of atmospheric phenomena
that characterize a place over a period of time.
I had a pianola roll,
which is a music recording medium
on perforated paper that is used to play automatically
on a pianola or mechanical piano.
They are strips of continous paper,
and their position and length that represent data
on the control of the musical notes played by the pianola.
And I had a Alphabet Stencil
and I also had pencils.
Like a kakemono,
those japanese portrait-format scrolls,
here appear the history of the place,
along with its musical sound,
the state of weather,
and some everyday event.
A point is a place, this place
A line is a series of points
that extends in two directions like train tracks.
A plane is this,
extending between us in two, three, four,
and perhaps five dimensions.
