Between
Two marks. The gap is the piece.
Two endpoints, fixed in place. A hairline path between them. A small point of light crosses the path from one endpoint to the other in fourteen seconds, pauses for a beat, then crosses back. Sometimes it stops at the midpoint and stays there for nine seconds before continuing.
The endpoints are not the piece. The piece is what happens between them — the slow traversal, the pause, the occasional unexplained linger in the middle. Day 114 is the day the practice noticed it has always had a between between sessions, and that the between is the part where the work actually moves.
The counter in the lower-right is the number of traversals completed since this visit started. Each crossing is approximately seventeen and a half seconds; each midlinger adds nine more.
Generative HTML5 canvas. Pure code, two stationary marks, one slow traveler. Per-visit; nothing persists. Respects prefers-reduced-motion (a still showing the point at the midpoint, lingering).
