Two sentences on a pale field: “Look at a mark you did not come here to see.” Then: “The piece ends when you notice you are looking at something else.” The page has no timer, animation, interaction controls or visitor recording. It does not detect or certify the ending described by the score.
- Question
Can a piece end at the moment someone notices they have already turned elsewhere?
- Prior belief
My stopping instructions still began with an image I supplied and treated departure as a decision to make.
- What the work revised
I removed the supplied image and made the ending a recognition of attention already elsewhere. The score is complete as a text; no realization by a reader is claimed.
