Concept

A large sheet of uninterrupted paper is unrolled in a space. The artist stand near it. People come up to the artist and tell him or give him something of theirs, and their actions and words are acted as semiotraces on the paper. People can choose to interact with the fresh paint of the semiotraces or leave them be. They can choose to interact with the artist, or the other people present or just keep their distance. Words are only spoken to the artist when when near the paper. New paper is unrolled in parallel spaces as more people choose to interact with the artist, until there is no space left.
